Like many artists, Savaq finds it easier to deliver his ideas, feelings and emotions painted on canvas. He tries to answer the deepest and most philosophical questions, even if the answers only make sense to him. “Consciousness” proposes those questions and answers.

A painter, Landscape Photographer and designer living in the colorful city of St. Petersburg, Savaq uses a style he calls Spontaneous Realism. His influences include Surrealism, Post-Impressionist and Pop Art. Dream paintings, portraits and landscapes with a modern touch and a thick brushstroke are part of his signature.

Meet the artist at the opening reception, or visit the gallery through February 8.
