About me

The Artist Ashin's Universe

I'm the illustrator of Common Sense and that's my art-story

Ave, friends!

I am Ashin, the apostle-illustrator of Common Sense,

I am a biological fragment of ancient peoples,

I am a child of totalitarianism,

I am the one who is dominated by "the curse of the Motherland".

My works are for those who want to "Be, and not seem".

A little about myself: Sober, Proud, Honest.

P.S. This is not a church and you will not be deceived.

My thoughts

You may ask: "Why does a person need art in his life?"

I will answer. Fine art is the calling card of a civilization. Without a versatile art, a culture is one sided, defective and archaic. And as the history of mankind shows, such cultures and societies are always outsiders in scientific technological progress. Because when creating a work of art and an innovative thing, there is a creative beginning, a spiritual need of a person. This is precisely the only need, not physiological or instinctive, that distinguishes a person from cattle.

Only in creativity and creation can a person become like the Creator.

A work of art is like a mirror that reflects the inner spiritual world of not only its author, but also the viewers who share his or her feelings. And yes, even though art objects have a monetary equivalent, they still belong to the spiritual heritage and treasures of civilization, unlike premium cars, yachts, and other mass-produced consumer goods. When you buy a car, you are a consumer. When you buy a work of art, you are the owner and custodian of a cultural heritage object. A work of art becomes your business card, ensuring an uninterrupted recharge of your spiritual essence, emotional state, and mental health. Fools are content with mass-produced consumer goods "a-la painting", but you don't want to be like them, do you? How else can you emphasize your aesthetic taste and intellect? With a branded bag made in China? By solving crosswords in the company of fools?

Your home is your microcosm and your not only physiological but also spiritual shelter on this planet. Do not litter it with artistic garbage.

My creative credo

I have done and continue to do a great job for you. I illustrate the thoughts of great people and nations, historical facts of our civilization. Our problems are subject to my anthropological research. You will read their results and diagnosis in my works.

Oh, intellectual gourmets! I offer you exquisite creative dishes instead of
ideological gruel. You get the opportunity to "pamper" your intellect and decipher the semantic load of my works.

Oh, lovers of history and philosophy! You are given the opportunity to contemplate the historical facts illustrated by me, cleared of ideological husk, and also to touch the philosophical pearls of our civilization illustrated by me.

Oh, lovers of aesthetics and beauty! You can decorate your world with exclusive works created by me according to the good old principles of the Great Masters, and not modern "fashionable" idiots who pass off their"artistic feces" as works of art.

Oh, lovers of subtle humor and those who understand Aesop's language! I will give you fun and enjoyment of language practice.

Oh, worthy women! You can emphasize your uniqueness with my jewelry. Each of my works is unique and unrepeatable, just like you, honorable ladies. I created them for you in collaboration with Nature.

My friends! Remember: "Our Father still makes. And I make."

So, join us!
