Artist Statement for Kirill Khlopov

Why do I paint portraits?
Always remember whose reflection you are, that's why wherein there are no people, try to be a human.
Why a portrait?
Quite not because of having studied at a portrait school, it's far from it.
It's exactly because the duality of human nature is reflected in a portrait.
What is the role of man in history?
Maybe he is really the Initiate, whom many people will believe. Look into yourself!
Maybe he is a myth created by people, just a human story.
Maybe dark powers stand behind him and influence your perception. When you find the answer you'll understand who you are.
Everybody has his own purpose. A teacher should know a lot and give knowledge. An actor should change and play, an artist should gladden people by his works, so everybody contributes to the life of human mankind.
But how to open eyes and see the reality, instead of illusion.
What is eternal and what is temporary and hides the sense of things?
Basis of basis, the fundamental principle of wisdom is understanding, that there's one who is eternal and He is the primary reason for everything, all that is in world - on earth, in the sky and under - it is because of and due to His essence.
What makes every cell move helping to clear up the idea or to make it sacred?
An idea from what area and what does it teach, what impression does it make and for how long?
What can the inspired man do himself: reflect the revelation or hide it?
Open your mind, fill it with knowledge and learn how to apply it.
Painting is one of the ways how I find and reflect the truth.
Nothing is expressed completely and nothing fully disappears.
People's faces are as different as their thoughts so the drop of water, when it falls in the ocean, keeps its individuality.
Where is the memory that makes remember, contemplate and see the sense of things deeper?
A mathematician predicts, a mystic knows, an artist expresses. All people are connected by one life, by one goal to complete the destiny.
Where is the limit? Time is life. There are life's plans.
Is there life in a piece of art? Is there an idea and whether it is understandable or it's only the work of soul, heart and mind, which is clear only to its author and devoted only to him.
All might be. If there is a spectator there will be a response, a soul movement, an idea, connection.
