Shein Yaroslav

Yaroslav Shein (b. 1987) is an abstract artist from Moscow.

Education: Art Department of VGIK. Specialty - animation and computer graphics artist.

Artist Statement:

Abstraction is eternal. Because in the process of working on an abstract painting, the original “primitive” creative state awakens. It gives incredible opportunities and discoveries. Previously, I experimented with electronic music and digital art, but it is difficult to separate what I created from what is written in the program code. Therefore, I use the method of expressive writing in painting. I supplement abstract volumes with signs peeped in non-subcultural street graffiti. I like to look at surfaces formed as a result of the spontaneous interaction of materials, changes in weather conditions, time, random inscriptions, drawings.
