All my life I wanted only one thing – I wanted to have in my possession something special, unique, and priceless, one thing that no one could take away from me; the thing that would make my life rich, exciting, and full of adventure.

“What can it be?” I asked myself. “I must find it.”

Years have passed until one day – I’ve got it! I understood what that one thing could be, I realized what I wanted.

I wanted to have in my possession, not a physical thing, but a skill, a muscle, an ability to think and create what I wanted, in time when I wanted it.

All my life I wanted to have in my possession a mind, mind capable of creating the life I wanted, the Luxurious Mind.

Luxurious Mind? You may ask. Yes.

The Luxurious Mind is a mind that is clear, lucid, harmonious, ordered, independent, courageous; always winning, always kind, the mind that in any circumstances will find a path to peace.

The Luxurious Mind is a great composer of great experiences.

Fueled by love, Luxurious Mind knows how to transform self, life around it, and follows da Vinci formula for change:  “Change initiates change, order initiates order, soul orchestrates all.”

The ability to create change is the key, magic quality of a Luxurious Mind. The process of change, the steps, and the mechanics of change were sketched by Leonardo da Vinci five hundred years ago. I discovered this formula one night while rummaging through Leonardo da Vinci’s drawings and notes on human mind architecture. The great one, the artist, the one who triggers the change initiates the chain of transformation. Art is one human activity that has no external function and solely dedicated to reflect, to express, and to train a human to change himself. Art triggers the internal and external change in a man. Art transforms our minds, our minds transform life.

Take a look for yourself, follow Leonardo’s logic, feel his idea and you too will be able to recognize and generate the great chain of change.

“It is only through Art and through Art only that we can realize our perfection; through Art and Art only that we can shield ourselves from the sordid perils of actual existence.”
~ Oscar Wilde.

Art is the creator of a Lux Mind.

Consider now, O reader!

Wherever Art appears – life blooms, order initiates order, change initiates change and an artist like a magician or a sorcerer of lite transmits his own consciousness into the heart of a viewer. And how well Art succeeds!

The Show.

When I was a kid, I lived in a city that was an art museum under the stars – St. Petersburg. Any season, every season the city was blooming with art.

In the morning on the way to school, I was followed by a long line of poster art splashed on the walls of buildings or hanging from the fences, framed by and welded into new construction. Was that art an agenda or a work of social art? Perhaps both. In my eyes, it was an urban graphic novel written and permanently tied to its origin – the walls of a big city. That art started my day and made it brighter, these messages gave me a sense of order. I had a feeling that the world was clear, stable, and simple, that there were rules I can follow to make my life into a beautifully orchestrated symphony of experiences, that all I needed to do is to keep my body strong, my mind healthy and master my dreams.

The Anti-Alcohol campaigns of the late 1980s of the Soviet Era were sharp, funny, full of rhymes and poetry. These messages entertained, made you laugh, and stayed with you. One of the campaigns had the name “Not a Drop!” That campaign is still with me.

“My Luxurious Mind” show is an echo of that campaign and that one message.

“A drop? Not a drop!” message was transformed into a new art form – Art Mind Game.

My art is a game.

My art is a Mind Game. It is based on the Leonardo da Vinci Formula for Change and the great physiologist Ivan Pavlov’s mechanics of new habit generation. My art will create a new mental habit in you, it will break up the recursive loop of addiction and it will train your brain to take a new action.

This art is charged.

The NFTs, canvases, and digital prints I create are charged with the energy of my knowledge, the spirit of Norse wisdom, and the power of Slavic land.

A human brain is the most sophisticated phenomenon we are able to observe in the universe.
I own it.
I am the master of it.
