Bakhrom Alimov is an artist of Uzbek origin, born in Moscow in 1994 and currently residing in Paris, France. His artistic journey began alongside the rapid development of the electronic music scene in Moscow. Immersed in the capital's nightlife, he was captivated by weekly parties and the diverse array of people at their peak energy.

The everyday vision of life imposed during his childhood crumbled along with the gray post-Soviet curtain, giving way to a vibrant carnival. With a modest academic background in fine arts, he rapidly evolves as an artist through diligence and love for experimenting with materials and techniques, effortlessly playing with proportions and perspective.

In his work, Bakhrom reflects on how the generation of the 2000s serves as a chaotic filter of post-Soviet upbringing and the informational singularity in which they find themselves.

As a contemporary artist, I inevitably find myself navigating a field of boundless and uncontrollable influences, shaped by cultural archetypes and relentless streams of information. These forces mold my language and worldview. Within this space, mythology, politics, religion, and media imagery intertwine, forming a continuous “singularity” where fragmented meanings strive for unity.

While external narratives are inescapable, I see it as my role to reinterpret the world through my own lens. Recently, I’ve been focusing on liberating space from imposed interpretations, drawing attention to its inner complexity. This approach allows me not only to document forms but also to explore how fear of the unknown shapes perception and rejection of the new.

My creative process is both intuitive and methodical. I often begin by constructing figures rooted in real proportions, using live models and photographs as references. Intuition guides me as figures deform and strict proportions dissolve into improvisation. As the painting develops, colors and shapes intermingle, seeking balance between the concrete and the abstract.

The final image is never fully preplanned. It’s a melody that forms organically in the process, reflecting not just my thoughts but also my deeper emotions. Unconscious creation plays a pivotal role in my work, opening a space for interpretation that resonates uniquely with every viewer.
