«Why is it necessary in our time to depict something that has nothing to do with us: heavy römers, silver dishes and bowls full of ripe grapes? Each element of the Dutch still life had its own meaning, was a fairly universal symbol, understandable to the viewer. So why not turn things that surround modern man into the same symbols? I am thinking about the Surface in terms of structuring drapery in space. For me, it is a substance that has direct references to the non-material world, due to the plasticity of the form, non-objectivity, the ability to be anything, at the same time, not being anything at all.»
Victor Ponomarenko in 2020 entered the TOP-35 of the best contemporary artists according to 49ART.
