Robert Dandarov’s work takes a journey through fact and fantasy. The artist analyses his modern era and emphasises the obsession with violence and illusion. His narrative talent displays a visual language based on mythology, history, religion, science and literature. His entire oeuvre is a myth of haunting works that transcend our thinking.

The artist explores reality within the visible and the invisible, he speculates. His unlimited universe in grotesque style contains the requisite satire. Dandarov’s painting simulates the passage of time and symbolises human suffering: physical and psychological.
