A work from the large graphic series "Metatexts", which explores global fractures in society and the impact of information flows on the perception of reality.
The series began in 2020 as a premonition of tectonic shifts in the world. The first works were created using minimalist calligraphy techniques (ink on craft paper), later evolving onto canvas, expanding the interaction with texture and material.
This work combines traditional and digital techniques, demonstrating controlled chaos. The artist himself refers to this direction as "glitch art", as the glitch is the central graphic element of the series, symbolizing an abrupt rupture in the system— a point of irreversible change.
