Fast Money: Steady Income
The sculpture explores the phenomenon of wealth and its transformation throughout Russian history. Continuing the series of iconic Yoomoota figures, the work is composed of real ruble banknotes that are no longer in circulation, yet remain embedded in collective memory. The piece is complemented by a sculptural heating pipeline — a familiar visual motif of the post-Soviet cityscape. The artwork presents money as a carrier of past hopes, fears, and myths that shape the imagination of new generations.
Taras Zheltyshev (Taras Yoom) is an international multidisciplinary artist, creator of the immersive art universe Yoomoota, and a participant in major contemporary art exhibitions across Europe, Asia, and the United States. His paintings, sculptures, and installations merge the organic and the artificial, exploring human nature and our relationship with the world through the signature style of biomorphic surrealism. Combining contemporary techniques with traditional craftsmanship, he creates a fantastical universe where functional objects become tools for investigating all dimensions of human experience — from physiology to emotional states and the perception of reality.
Zheltyshev began his artistic journey in collectible design, earning recognition from the international design community through awards such as the A’ Design Award, International Design Awards, Good Design Awards, and Elle Decoration. He later developed an independent practice in painting and sculpture, working at the intersection of craftsmanship and technology. His artistic techniques include oil and acrylic painting, lithography, graphite drawing, assemblage, hand modeling, 3D printing, and digital art.
Today, Taras Zheltyshev’s works are held in private collections in Paris, London, Seoul, Belgium, Miami, New York, and Moscow, and have been featured in Forbes, Harper’s Bazaar, L’Officiel, The Art Newspaper, and GQ.
