Igor’s art is a perfect symbiosis of surrealism and hyperrealism. Be it levitating musical instruments that convey a sense of weightlessness or a familiar arrangement of pomegranates on an Armenian carpet, the impeccable delivery of all objects and their textures makes the dreamlike images appear incredibly vivid and real, while the more mundane themes are transformed into extraordinary experiences.
The artist's fascination with music is translated into ethereal visions that seem to emerge from a different realm of existence allowing the sensitive observer to experience transcendence and a feeling of lightness that is otherwise impossible in a world subject to the laws of gravity.
