My Mission
Enjoy and give people bright emotions of the game! The vaudeville called Life, in which we all play a variety of roles unconsciously and consciously, is always in motion, like a child's carousel with brightly colored figures.
And I love to ride on it, shrieking with delight, fear, surprise, and other spectrum of experiences! This rainbow of pleasure I broadcast to the masses, helping those who want to jump on the playful painted horse. Almost all of my activities pass through the filter of this life credo.
I'm experienced in craftsmanship using various materials like bones, clay, plastic, papier mache, electrical wiring, wood, paints, epoxy resin, silicone, plasticine, fabric, metal etc.
And it’s not all: visualization, photography, retouching, filming, scripting and storyboarding — are my passions as well as stage performances, dancing, stilts, tricks, poetry and psychology.
Alchemist of decorative void
I call myself an alchemist because I like to transform matter by experimenting, mixing different things, and watching the beauty that results with burning interest.
Carnival - my creative explorations are in decorating people, rendering vivid images, stage wagering, trickery inside and out. I create masks, costumes, lamps, statuettes, jewelry made of bones and natural materials, photographs, paintings, furniture, psychology of characters, performances, clips, stories.
And void.... It's about the sense of search, the creative hunger, the nothingness that I've befriended, from which the happiness of being has arisen, from which I draw inspiration and artifacts. And it is undoubtedly about the mean illusory and ecstatic ephemerality of the products of human subjective perception.
In reality Vladimir Gruzdev — on stage Vladimir Gluck!
From an early age I lived a life of play, transformation, immersion in the essence. Spent thousands of hours observing, imagining, drawing, sculpting various anthropomorphic creatures, inventing stories and the logic of their existence.
His favorite genres of books, movies and cartoons, which he listened to with rapture, were undoubtedly fantasy and si-fi. As a teenager I started making masks, costumes, jewelry, surrealistic photographs and collages, and writing stories. And now for more than 15 years I have been creating beauty and improving my skills.
Masks and costumes in particular make changes light, filigree, and aesthetically organic. The illusory security of the ego, isolated under a mask, allows a person to release their inner hidden energies.
And understanding the reasons why we create this or that image promotes self-exploration. You don't choose a mask, you wish to release one of your vital facets. I will be happy to help you do this.
