Alien

We are aliens from space depth. We have come here to tell you about our worlds and about what you have never seen. Here and now you have a chance to look into the Universe from another side. Our paintings, sculptures, jewelry – these are parts of unexplored distant and magnetic worlds that we brought with us for you. Look and imagine yourselves strangers and explorers that were lucky to see the alien for the first time… Alexander Gubanov

Our planets are probably put on different orbits but they are from the same galaxy for sure. Our worlds cross, overlay and complete each other creating merging of images, forms and colors. That fact that I have come from another planet have always been clear to me. I am likely to have come from Green Planet – the place where winter never comes. From there where cosmic lakes and water mirror-like surface are combined with textured surfaces and amazing plants types. There’s a lot of water and rocks in my planet. And Ocean… it’s my Universe… its astonishingly beautiful and bright planet. It’s very vivid and colorful. I invite you into my alien world to see cosmic lakes, hear the whisper of water

and rustle sound of exotic plants.

I guess in other galaxies you may find life and parallel worlds and also past and future lives. Time for me is something abstract. Aliens and robots also live underground for sure. And one day they will come out of there and capture the humanity. And aliens live among us as well… they are not people – they have luminescent eyes even during the daytime and later they become usual. I would like to buy spacecraft and go into zero gravity and make something extraordinary there!

Space sexual invaders = v 1.2

Constrained by sophistication of coming Melancholy, discolored by smile of Cheshirsky, ruined by winds of mysterious Kadaff, Maids of Earth nestles close to plants and wait for the Coming of breath from out of nowhere. Mysterious invader exhausted from within overcomes the pain of waiting and inspires again tangled nerves, gloom of consciousness and density of blood pillars. The Maids are waiting, silent, implacable, hung by hair braids, spread on chest, hobbled with earth males. Big pimply capsule enters the atmosphere; disks of landing spacecrafts hide the horizon. Space sexual invaders step on the Surface. Maids are waiting silent. No words, no rumble. Only the silk of melted sand under moving bodies. After acts of love with space invaders the maid turns into vapor. Volatile, multifarious, aerial. Without regrets, trembles and offence. Tenderness and melting hoarse carbons. A chance for a hope of

restarting, sublime orderliness of loss. Soul of maid – fleeting feather, embryo of mentality, shaked off by implacable caress of space invader. Maids rise high and spill back on Earth by rains. Some of them fly away by unhooked and full ships. One of the thousands. But maids hope and prostrate themselves.

My creative and life motto – to make people happy and transmit light and love through creativity thus creating abstract, multi-valued and ambiguous. Source of inspiration for me is life. And life is impossible without color. As the basis of my learning and investigation of the world I see experiment and concentration that finally become finite and spread out in different directions becoming infinite. Applying to my subconscious I find answers to many questions of mine, open new worlds and cognize myself. My creativity is my meditation. I work with different materials and directions – jewelry, paintings, sculptures made from metals, color enamels, inserts, concrete, resin and paints.

Participant of numerous international exhibitions (USA, Portugal, Spain, The Netherlands, Greece, Romania), Russian exhibitions (Moscow, Saint-Petersburg). The winner of International competition of young jewelry designers “Image and Form” in Russian Museum of Ethnography – won the II place.

The general struggle I have is going on inside of me, with myself. I splash out my emotions in my creativity in order not to keep it inside of me. I am inspired by feelings towards people, their actions, and even if I don’t understand something I start to paint, sculpture, model and everything goes right on their places. I adore being in crowds when there’s a lot of people around me, I adore chaos. I don’t understand order, can’t count elementary numbers. I love color, nature and life. I have been creative since my early childhood and I make my performances everywhere in the world. I believe that no rules should be existed. The main for me is freedom, faith in myself and in people around me. My world is unstable and full of adventures.
