Oleg Rostkov

Born in 1987 in Leningrad, Oleg Rostkov graduated from the Metal Art Department of the St. Petersburg Stieglitz State Academy of Art and Design.

As befits a young man of the 21st century, Oleg is fascinated with the world of digital technology which inspired him to create a jewellery collection and several art objects. The hidden mysteries of complicated computing mechanisms usually referred to as ‘hardware’ are explored by Rostkov with the help of hardware in the sense of metallic parts and components, imaginatively shaped by the artist whose efforts are guided by the minimalist motto ‘Less is more.’
