Sergejs Djomins
After finishing his studies in history and philosophy, Sergey Dyomin decided to become an artist. Drawing and painting seemed as some kind of an escape for him.
Sergey Dyomin says: “An artwork is meant to present your own adventures, your character, your experience in life. The painting which I am producing at this time represents something of a continuation of the theme of terrorism, global governance, behind-the-scenes politics, etc. These are all things which shape and determine our reality, but we know little about them. Perhaps we sense something; perhaps we are misled in this regard. The same is true for me. I don’t know much, and I take a slightly ironic approach in imagining the way in which things happen.”
