"At the age of 6 I got my first computer ZX Spectrum, I spent all days drawing huge detailed illustrations. I was fond of playing video games and it probably influenced my biggest desire towards design and CG. It all started with 2D illustrations, that smoothly turned into 3d illustrations and spaces. I believe that there are no limits in graphics and everything you can imagine is possible. My work is influenced by science, universe, infinity, fractals, black & white, space, motion, architecture, physics, sounds... “Modul" reflects the universe in its infinite confinement. Pulsating energy and magnetism. It's a confrontation and the pursuit of something great, a goal that an observer can not understand not being involved in the process" (Maxim Zhestkov)
