Dance Of Taiga by Stayfin in Subotica

I was born in 1994 in the deep taiga of Western Siberia, and art has accompanied me throughout my entire life. As a multidisciplinary creator—both a painter and a musician—I discovered my authentic style and method through the practice of deep meditation and the state of an "empty mind." My artistic practice has evolved through living and working across different continents, including Africa, and since 2025, I have been living and creating art in Subotica, Serbia. In my work, I turn to the ancient forces of the earth and plants to better understand life and myself. Through my paintings, I depict what I feel in the present moment or materialize ideas with subtexts exploring metaphysical forces, spiritual practices, and the current condition of humanity in the modern world. My core philosophy is simple: as long as you do not conflict with yourself and nature, all will be well. I know that anything made with one's own hands is imbued with a special energy and power. Everything a person creates by hand immediately becomes an object of power. My paintings are no exception, much like art objects from around the world, both past and present. I endow my art with a special, positive intention: before starting my work, I perform a ritual and smudge the materials, and then the magic begins.
