Filipp Borisenok — The Art of Improvisation

I’m a visual artist and dancer. In dance, I’m defined by improvisation — the ability to unfold music in the moment and turn it into movement.

In painting, I continue working with the same principles, except here movement becomes a visual form.

 The works are not built from a pre-defined idea — they emerge in the process, through a sequence of decisions related to color, tension, and compositional relationships. Music also plays an important role in my practice: it sets an internal rhythm, shapes the state I work in, and becomes part of how the image is formed.

Only afterwards do series appear — as a way of reflecting on and structuring what has been created.

My primary medium is acrylic. It allows me to maintain speed while staying flexible — from thin, transparent layers to dense, textured surfaces.

The formats begin at 80×60 cm and 100×80 cm. Today I mostly work at a scale of 150×100 cm and larger — increasing the size changes the physical perception of the work and strengthens its presence in space.

To date, I have created more than 40 works. Some of them were presented in the exhibition “Dialogues Without Words” at the State Gallery “Belyaevo” in Moscow.

At the moment, my practice is expanding toward broader artistic forms and tools: large-scale works, video art, objects, and installations. I’m interested in pushing the work beyond the surface so it can exist in space — as an independent presence that enters into direct contact with the viewer.
