Boris Indrikov

... Picture - is a door into a parallel world. That is a world where all things are different. There are other laws, other lines and shapes.

This is my world. Maybe I came from there and I will come back ...

... You took brushes and paints, came up to a canvas - from the other side of the canvas somebody has already looked forward to your first stroke, this is like a snake biting its own tail. By creating a picture, you complete another CREATION cycle of this world.

... Artist - is a mysterious creature, "God's pipe", agent, He is vibrating because of stream of information which is flowing through him. "... And he was trembling like a needle in the compass...". There is feeling of creative itch and impatience, unembodied pregnancy, pangs and doubts about things that you have done, and, at the same time, you are full of pleasure from the process in itself.

It's kind of the artist's living...
