It so happened that I saw several amazing worlds in my life. I saw them because I was sick. I had problems in my brain, due to which I often saw strange, too realistic dreams and even dreamed in reality. These problems have now been resolved. A life-threatening tumor has been removed by the brilliant surgeon. I was saved. But the strange visions ended.

The strange thing is that since the visions ended, I remember them much more clearly than before. We can say that the distinctness of the memories of strange worlds in my memory is constantly growing.

I decided to make several paintings based on these visions of mine.

This work is called "Inhabited Forest". I lived in this forest, according to subjective feelings, for several months. I was one of its inhabitants. A flying, fluffy creature, somewhat reminiscent of a bumblebee. I lived in one of these roundhouses hanging from a tree. I have lived a very complicated life. This life was almost human in complexity, but otherwise completely different.

In that life, there was a lot of freshness, light, and piercing happiness. Sometimes I miss her ...

I remembered about Inhabited Forest when I happened to be in a large city during a lockdown. Thousands of illuminated windows and completely empty streets ... All this suddenly became unbearable, painfully sad, and the piercing and sweet world of the Inhabited Forest surfaced in my mind ...

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Painting Pastel

Pastel is an instrument widely used in plastic arts. Taking the form of a colored plastic stick, it is composed of pigments, a filler (chalk or plaster) and a binder (gum arabic, oil, wax). We mainly distinguish fatty pastels (oil or wax), dry pastels, whether soft or hard. Invented in Europe at the end of the 15th century, this tool was very quickly used by great portrait painters of French royalty, such as Charles Le Brun, Rosalba Carriera, Jean Siméon Chardin or Maurice Quentin de La Tour, who will be considered the "Prince of pastellists", thanks to a method of fixation of which only he knew the secret.

Pastel

Drawing made with a colored stick. It consists of pigments, a charge and a binder. A distinction is made between dry pastels (soft or hard) and fatty pastels (oil or wax).

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

Vadim Kalinin

Thailand

Vadim Kalinin was born in Moscow, Russia in 1973. In Russia, he is also known as a poet and writer.

Eight years ago, Vadim became a digital nomad. Together with his family, he roams in the tropical regions of the planet. Primarily in Southeast Asia. The artist's base nest is located in the city of Hua Hin in Thailand.

Vadim believes that his work is based on three powerful pillars. On the exploratory exoticism of Paul Gauguin, the surreal romanticism of Odilon Redon, and on the specific techniques of working with color and composition of the Caucasus artists.

Vadim makes many tropical landscapes painted from life. He sincerely and deeply loves the tropics and its specific plastic structure. However, Vadim considers the magic-realistic branch of his work to be the most important for himself.

Vadim is in a sense a visionary. Until the age of forty, he periodically saw persistent "dreams in reality", merely dreams or hallucinations. It was caused by a brain disease. Now the disease has been eliminated by surgery. The hallucinations disappeared. But memories of them are preserved, which, in a strange way, are becoming clearer and clearer.

Vadim draws a lot and with pleasure other epochs and worlds in which he “visited”. Strange creatures that I "saw", bizarre gods and animals that I "encountered".

With all this, Vadim is an atheist and a persistent supporter of the scientific worldview. He treats his translocation travels with great interests, but also with specific humor.
