If the Cocteau Twins’ music became paintings, they might take the shape of a Boris Indrikov painting. This Russian artist’s work is full of enchanting magic that will have your mind wandering off into never never land. His work draws you in with spirals that engulf your being and then transform into surreal beings. Boris is able to create paintings that have an old-world energy with a new-world vision. When I gaze at his paintings I hear a language both beautiful and yet haunting. Just like a Cocteau Twins song, it doesn’t matter that you don’t understand Liz’s lyrics, you feel in your heart where she is coming from. Boris Indrikov conveys the same power with each stroke of his brush. All I want to do is get trapped in his creative universe because it’s just that surreal!
