Sergej Jakovlev is a Russian artist who lives and works in Gothenburg, Sweden. He often works with Antonina Shypotilo, \u2018my talented apprentice\u2019. Together they perform the project \u2018A Visible Humanness\u2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When painting, Sergej Jakovlev makes large movements. With a palette knife he brings the colors \u2013 often blue, yellow, green, purple \u2013 on the canvas. We see images of wilderness, lakes in forests, seas, occassionaly people. When he paints he feels happy. Art is, in his opinion, similar to humanness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Restore the prestige of art<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2003 he and other artists founded an organization , the \u2018International Society of Artists<\/em>\u2019 (ISA). \u201cWe established it in the third Year of the New Millennium at the Florence Biennale<\/em>. At that time we were sure that the New Millennium should be a new tolerant era, that the world would be devoid of wars and meaningless conflicts, an era of humanistic perspective.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Through ISA he wanted to restore the prestige of art. \u201cIf you want to do that, you have to change the status of the artists. An artist is not the incomprehensible hermit, who has been accidently discovered and is then studied by specialists. An artist is neither a prudent tradesman, who carefully and consistently creates his or her career on the commercial art market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If artists are taken seriously, and Sergej and ISA are working hard on that, people will listen to them. \u201cThe role of art is to change the world for the better. This is a new humane thinking, a new era of humanistic freedom, a geopolitical climate change. The artists will be thinking loudly about human nature, about the stereotypes in society, about a spiritual slavery and spiritual freedom. Art is life. Life is richer and more interesting than any concepts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Project<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sergej is never without inspiration. \u201cI have worked regardless of any demands of the art market and the wishes of the galleries. Many of us obey to management \/ PR forces. We listen to all their imperative recommendations and regularly visit the Temple of All Brands<\/em>. In this way we are similar to the people of Ancient Rome, when they were visiting the Temple of All Gods<\/em>, because there was a concept at the time of humans depending on all gods.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sergej Javolev made about 700 paintings this way. Except ISA, he and Antonina developed a plan that he calls \u2018The Project A Visible Humanness<\/em>\u2019. \u201cWe would like to show all the 1000 of our paintings at one big show. I would like to name this show \u2018To Make Humanism Visible<\/em>\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

St. Petersburg<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He considers his life before his artlife as a prelude. \u201cI existed on the advices of others. They advised how people should live.\u201d When he found out that his vocation was art, it was 1980, and he stopped to attend the Technical University <\/em>and changed to the Pedagogical University <\/em>in St. Petersburg, speciality education of Fine Art. He found there a teacher in the person of Vitaly Stasevich, who taught Fine Art. From 1981 till 1986 Sergej followed his studies there. \u201cVitaly Stasevich convinced me to follow my vocation independently of any circumstances.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

He continued his art education in St. Petersburg. In the years following, from 1987 till 1993, he was studying at the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts<\/em>.His teacher was an artist, and professor of the Academy, Victor Reikhet. \u201cHe became a friend, he is an example for me of such a meaning of life \u2013 to be an artist.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asked for his philosophy he says: \u201cOne thing is clear for everyone. In places where culture and art are forgotten, there is hatred, conflicts, wars, sorrow and death. There where art and culture are present, there is life, inspiration, development, progress, love and happiness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
