Nostalgia

Nostalgia is essentially nothing more than a journey through one’s own mind, a unifying factor in Bobkin’s work. Let yourself be transported back to a place in the past by a color, a sound, or a scent. We see a figure amidst a vast space. Captured in a room of the mind’s eye. Dancing through the psyche, he moves freely, disregarding conventional standards of space and time. The face is just barely visible, as in a dream, ready to be molded by one’s own imagination.

Alexander Bobkin is a painter based in Nijmegen. Bobkin’s work is characterized by his search for the hidden reality behind the visible image. A visionary guided by his Siberian roots, he constantly travels through the mind to translate these mystical experiences onto canvas.
