Roman Kazus borrows the main plots for his paintings from the modern media stream.
For me, the similarity between painting and media is obvious - both imitate reality, but are not it, says Kazus.
The painting of Roman Kazus is, first of all, a synthesis of the abstract and the figurative, where recognizable images and symbols fit into a certain abstract environment. The plot is guessed, but only partially, it is impossible to determine what is happening, to describe the event. The same is true in the media space, in which only the illusion of reality is created.
