In my painting, I draw inspiration from the French painter Eugène Delacroix and his groundbreaking work "Liberty Leading the People," which intensely depicts the bloody barricade struggles in Paris in July 1830. My work critically engages with the theme of revolution in today's globalized world, drawing comparisons. In the past, the revolution was seen as an act of modernization and progress, a force that ultimately creates a better reality and lifts people out of misery. However, in contemporary times, we tend to view the revolution less positively. Its former enchantment seems to have faded, especially since the upheaval of 1989/90, which was associated with the idea of the end of history. Back then, global society seemed to have reached an advanced level, characterized by human rights, democracy, and a regulated market economy. The belief in uninterrupted progress appears somewhat outdated today. Nevertheless, circumstances have rapidly changed since then, along with the understanding of revolution. Nowadays, we experience the revolution as a highly dangerous concept, one that tends to evoke something right-wing, something reactionary. This suggests that it does not signify progress but rather a regression into fatal, older, perhaps familiar pre-democratic times.

My name is Maxim Fomenko, I'm a freelance artist from Nuremberg. I studied at the Nuremberg Academy of Arts, study program "Free Art“. Completed 2012 as a master student.Since then I am a successful, freelance artist. My work is in various open and private collections Europe and the USA. My art is about the artist himself, here I ask the question, how does the artist of today look like compared to the artist in the past, how has he changed in the course of art history. How much has his transformation of themes that he dealt with thousands of years ago like feminine beauty, death and Paradis changed. We remember the past epochs with beautiful female scenes of, for example, Ingris, Degas, Renoir or Matisse. Then the fright of the 20th century from Picasso, Braque and so on until today. What remains for the modern artists? Everything seems to be said, all styles and all directions are exhausted, maybe that's why the subjects have to be redefined and reinterpreted. If I may paraphrase Malewisch "it is no longer enough to create a mattress for the night of love".
