Anatolik Belikov
Digital artist Anatolik Belikov believes that the key to understanding of our fractured and disturbing reality could be found in our vision and how things surrounding us look like. Before discovering CGI, Belikov studied chemistry, cycling through dozens of jobs before finding his passion for 3D storytelling. He has since worked for clients such as Adidas, Burberry, and Kenzo, although his personal work stands apart from his sleek commercial briefs.
“In his own art, Belikov delves into flaws and imperfections, exploring objects which are mundane, dusty, or slightly damaged and working out how they could exist in the CGI universe. The darker underlying currents of our culture are also ruthlessly exposed. In the music video for Ukrainian artist Youra, Belikov created a suffocating burning response to the war in Ukraine and our general numbness to violence.”
