Ruslan (Rus) Khasanov is an artist and graphic designer. He specializes in creating abstract photography, videos, illustrations, and experimental typography. His ability to express intense emotions through visual art, experimentation, and improvisation, allowing the viewer to derive their own significant meanings, plays a central role in his creative process. Through his creations, Ruslan channels a beam of internal chaos by fully immersing himself in visual experiments. This process not only contributes to the development of the style he has been crafting since 2011 but also helps the viewer connect with their own disordered, incomprehensible, uncontrollable, silent, and therefore frightening internal chaos and the equally chaotic reality. Additionally, Ruslan integrates various methods of exploring existence into his art, creating profound and multi-layered works that resonate on different levels of perception.
