"My work emerges from a process of intuitive exploration. Rather than following a fixed concept or style, I begin with an internal impulse — a vague sense, image, or memory — and allow the painting to take shape through the act of making . Much of what I do is rooted in observing human behavior, childhood narratives, and fragments of cultural memory. These elements often sur face in the form of archetypal figures or scenes that feel both personal and collectively recognizable. I'm interested in how symbols, gestures, and familiar motifs can carry emotional or psychological weight without being tied to a single reading . Each new series becomes an attempt to find a visual language that fits the subject — not by illustrating it, but by uncovering something essential about how it feels. I see painting as a way to access the subconscious and bring to the sur face things that resist straight for ward description: moods, tensions, traces of stories we carry without realizing."

About the artist
Yakov Khomich
Yakov Khomich (b. 1997) is a contemporary artist based between France and Russia. Immersed in art since childhood, he grew up in a family of artists and was shaped by an education focused on creativity and visual culture.

Since his debut solo exhibition in Moscow (2019), Khomich has participated in major Russian art fairs, including Blazar (2023)...
