Music of Universe
Mihail Kivachitsky is a native of the former Soviet Union, where he honed his skills as a painter, illustrator, and sculptor over the first half of his life. Later, he worked on art projects across the world, including for the Kyrgyzstan government. Today, the 48-year-old Kivachitsky finds inspiration from the variety of cultures he has experienced to create art that is fascinating and unique. The foundation of his art is based on traditional Soviet realism and eastern spiritual influence. These two fabrics, combined as one, give him the hope to show colorful depictions of his life history.
“I do not paint, I illustrate life. My paintings are introspective of one’s self-image, and that is shown through this visual poetry. Reflecting real-life nature and symbols I see in the universe. My focus is to display reality in metaphysical nature. Bordering between reality and the supernatural, life has given me a reason to explicate my own visual reflection. Things that touched my soul. My heart. My mind. I draw all of my life and, in turn, learn how to draw all of my life”.
