Why Conceptual Art Is Not Decoration

When I first started, I drew horses and sculpted small ceramics. They were beautiful, emotional, decorative — but they were not yet conceptual art.

So what’s the difference?

Decorative art works for the eye and the market. It is about form, color, harmony with interiors, and sometimes about craft.

Conceptual art works for the mind and the soul. It starts with an idea — a manifesto, a philosophy — and then finds the right form to express it.

A conceptual artist is not just a maker of objects. A conceptual artist is also a philosopher, a researcher, and a messenger.

My own path was shaped by this understanding. When I met art curator Julia Sysalova at her School (Online Art Communication School by Julia Sysalova), she helped me clarify and articulate what I was already searching for — my core concept: the Head of the Creator. Since then, my art has been about consciousness, unity, deep love, and the essence of human existence.

Every material, every form I choose now serves this idea. My sculptures are not “for interiors” — they are for reflection, dialogue, transformation.

That is why conceptual art cannot be compared to hobbyist or purely decorative art. It lives in another dimension: it is philosophy embodied in form.

✨ Concept comes first. Form follows, searches for the right expression, connection, precise material, style, composition, context and expression. Everything matters.
