This project's idea came to me last year while i was in the orthopedic cast recovering from the multiple fructures of bones in my right foot. It was one of that Dubai spring time that gives you joy of being under the sun but you rather don't will to take sea bath yet. Well, in my situation i coudn't do anything else except of sitting on the seaside and breath some fresh air. One of that moment i realised how madly i am in love with Dubai's sun, sea, sand and palms. Day after day i was contemplating Jumeirah sea and villas views, making scatches and photographing interesting for me corners.
Everithing has began from that triptych painting «Gone» where in the central part i've captured two empty sunbeds with opened umbrella, life-buoy was lying uselessly on the sand on the right part and emty, totally minimalistic space with just one tiny cloud in the sky on the left. There was so much space for imagination and interpretations: are these beds were just occupieded or going to be?
Was it just couple lying there or some lonely single person? where are they? was that life-buoy used or it was already too late? what's that cloud in the sky means? Something untold, something hidden, something GONE. Or maybe it was me imaging myself gone? Gone from phisical pain and depressive thoughts, gone to the imaginary perfect places so similar to that i was already in but yeat so unexplainably different, calm and far, places that i've been long ong time ago and were never remembered.
This series is about Presence and Absence in the modern everyday life, endless beauty of contemporary lifestyle and tragedy of lost moment frozen in time. I wanted to paint places and situations i would like to take part in. This are my imaginary worlds, my final distinations, my Neverlands. It's Dubai, it's LA, it's Mauritius and Bali, it's whatever you want it to be, places you want to be «Gone» to, to be hidden in, and i'm inviting you there.
