Pavel Yakushev

My art is a visual exploration of humanism, kindness, creativity, and love.

My signature style is a fusion of iron and paint. This combination allows me to give each piece a distinctive three-dimensional presence that is slowly altered by time.

The figures I create inhabit urban spaces. They are vivid, expressive, and united by a common narrative: dreamers striving for the impossible – naive, bold, fantastical characters that offer meaning, hope, and ask unanswerable questions. Many works live their own lives around the world, often without documentation.

This parallel world is filled with kindness, empathy, and imagination. A rocking horse, a spring bunny, and lost toys wander around the city, engaging in dialogue and dreaming of epic journeys. A mystical fuel station offers courage and meaning; a mysterious telephone connects through time and space.

By moving these art objects from place to place, I explore the urban environment in search of new images and contexts. Mobility fuels growth, allowing me to expand my artistic universe with new characters, stories, and layers of meaning.

As an artist, I have had exhibitions in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Berlin, Lugo, Oregon (US), and my street art can be seen all over the world. I support my artistic practice by means of commissions, and spend several months a year on the sea as a sailor – chasing inspiration and adventure.
