Pavel Brat

Born in Voronezh in 1987, Pavel graduated from the School of Graphic Design of the Voronezh State Pedagogical University. He currently lives and works in St. Petersburg.

Pavel’s works resemble ancient artefacts: he creates abstract compositions and sculptures out of paper by way of an upgraded quilling technique. The use of special hydraulic equipment to compress paper results in the extreme density of material. In his oeuvre, Brat explores the Christian narratives, building on the legacy of the old masters in his distinct way.
