From the interview ...
Simon Faibisovich: "I'm alive and relevant artist, until I call external to something encouraged"
---------------------------------
Why is a successful, well-known artist as a workshop given a room in an apartment?
Long history. First, the Soviet authorities did not give the studio, because I was not a member of the Union of Artists, a shop did not rely. And when I began a new era, lips roll, but it turned out that replacing one hierarchy came another, from which the sick even more. Then I threw the painting, and the question itself was dropped. And now, when he returned, would not want to change anything. Convenient - no need to shove anywhere, in the morning get up, drank coffee and for the machine ... The main problem - there is no waste to large canvases to see a short distance. But I have evolved a bit, developed a faceted vision. And now the physical size of pictures is limited only by how they pass the door, they leave.
Size matters?
This format is very organic - so that viewers do not just look, but could enter into a relationship with the picture, enter into it.

You then throw the painting, then paint again write. Now, in general no one understands what you are doing.
I thought that nobody understood. There is a desire something to build, a new synthesis. This, of course, art - including painting. Shimmering interaction technologies - print, digital photography, computer processing and the present painting. When master all, there is a playing field of interaction of different techniques, mimikrirovaniya one beneath the other. I accidentally went to this new painting - with the project Mobilography: gave my mobile, they said - come on ... and then came across the subjects.
Many people would like you to go back to classical painting
This is normal, if the artist at a certain age is starting to play. But it becomes boring, there is a need for some sort of intrigue to create, to understand it. I think that I'm alive and relevant artist, until I call external to something encouraged. New time itself poses new challenges - picturesque, spatial, constructive. In this sense, a return to the old artificial.
