The artist about the image of Minsk in his works:
I have a twofold attitude towards Minsk. On the one hand, this feeling of closeness to the city, born through endless walks, as a result of which a mental map of the place appeared. On the other hand, there is a feeling of Minsk as a “non-city” that has not become a city or has lost this quality. The theme of "alienation" of architecture from man and from civilization in principle appeared. Minsk is called a "clean city". But sometimes this purity comes to a paradox, creating a feeling of sterility and emptiness. The city begins to lose its depth. Becomes purified, cold and concrete. In my opinion, this is its essence.
