Words are wanting to describe this outward dissonance between two beings; we are not accustomed to read a thought in a movement... VadimKovalev demonstrates in his art an intriguing synthesis of the language of modern pop culture and traditional painting. Elements of surrealism in Kovalev's painting alternate with sentimental sensuality, dressed in an effective and skillful language of painting. His paintings create a visually powerful narrative that attracts the viewer of the digital age and reveals some of the unknown aspects of modern culture.
