I have always loved unusual artistic projects in which the earthly meets the cosmic, living things become part of space, and familiar boundaries cease to exist.
That is how the idea arose to create a painting together with the talented artist Elena Melnikova, whose distinctive vision of human faces and figures is sometimes compared to the artistic world of Marc Chagall.
We shared one large canvas without agreeing on a subject or composition. Working directly with paint and brushes, without sketches, and trusting each other’s intuition and subconscious, we created a shared space. Sleeping people appeared, floating through the cosmos, united within a single artistic world.
Later, I wanted to emphasise the relativity of time. Real clock mechanisms and rotating feathers became part of the painting, literally bringing the canvas to life and transforming it into a moving art object.
The philosophy of General Space is trust, freedom and synchronicity. When two people are in true harmony, they have no need to divide space or establish boundaries. There is room for everyone, and creative unity can give rise to something entirely new — something neither of us would have created alone.
