Artist’s Statement: Artwork as viewed by Alexander Limarev is the way to speculate upon and explain to yourself such universal existential problems as a person’s life, double standards and their influence on individuals, public loneliness, social impotence, search of God, resistance to Evil. He thinks of his artwork as inner monologues developing over a particular thought or event and thus resembling nonsense, stream of consciousness in visual art, based on paradox, absurd, broken causative-consecutive and chronological connections, reflecting discrepancy, and injustice of the outer reality. However, decorative artworks are a happy exception.
