Dima Rabik

Dima Rabik is a peripatetic artist who’s artworks are immersive sensoriums of printed, painted and illustrated matter. Born in Russia, Rabik’s assemblages are a continuation of his folkloric roots that leap between stratified cultural motifs, indicative of his creative impetus, uninhibited as he is by any fixed cultural perspective. Through his assemblages, Rabik channels his mythical interests in Eastern and Western esotericism (ranging from Theosophy, Shaivism, Smartism and Advaita Vedanta) and draws attention to the ideas extending beyond the artworks themselves. With an awareness of sustainability and an ecological approach to making his artwork, Dima uses almost exclusively, hand-made recycled papers, where his aesthetic brings to mind the ancient scribal masters of India and Persia, releasing their spirits through the use of carefully selected and textural materials to invite the gaze of the viewer back into the Temple Invisible.
