About the Artist

The painting is a transition from the Ultimum Astrum project, 2021 to the new Olimp project.

Dmitry Sirotkin (born 1969 in Leningrad, USSR) is a Russian artist-photographer and book designer, an employee of the editorial and publishing department of the State Hermitage. During a personal exhibition of the artist's photographs at the Hermitage, art critic Arkady Ippolitov named him one of the key authors of modern Petersburg photography, along with Boris Smelov.

In recent projects, he demonstrates a gravitation towards large topics (growing up, human goal-setting, the continuity of generations and cultures). In addition to photography, he uses video, painting and objects as means of expression. The artist is attracted by the possibilities of digital technologies, artificial intelligence, blockchain - technologies that he gradually begins to use in his works, complicating them and partially moving them into the online space.
