Sergei Ivanov

I think of art as being similar to magic. In the beginning, art and magic were one practice and the first artist was a shaman. As an artist, I share a spiritual kinship with archaic cave art, with its imbued sense of primordial spirituality and talismanic value. I paint states of being, not objects, thus attempting to invoke spirituality without objectivity. Conceptually, I seek to go beyond the realm of personal expression and into the world of writing and language.

I sign my works under alias "Xgeronimo".

I am a self-taught artist with BA in Philosophy.
