Aktyviai dalyvaudamas tarptautinėse parodose ir rezidencijose, menininkas sparčiai išpopuliarėjo ir susilaukė gerbėjų įvairiose šalyse. D. Sidorovo kūryba yra paremta kasdienybės objektų bei kultūrinės ar asmeninės erdvės tyrinėjimu. Kūriniuose daržnai atvaizduojama sustabdyta emocija, pamatytas vaizdas ar aplinkos veiksmas, kuris perteikiamas dviprasmiškomis išraiškomis. Dviprasmybes padeda atskleisti pavadinimai, o jų užrašymas kūrinių kitose pusėse tai tarsi dar vienas kūrinys kūrinyje.

Dominykas Sidorovas (b. 1993, Lithuania) is an award-winning contemporary painter, celebrated for his imaginative and thought-provoking exploration of everyday objects. Winner of the Young Painter Prize, Sidorovas completed his MA at the Vilnius Academy of Arts in 2020. His artistic practice delves into the ambiguity and shifting meanings of familiar items, drawing from personal and cultural spaces to challenge viewers’ perceptions. Through a distinctive approach that blurs the line between reality and fiction, he reimagines mundane objects by placing them within fictional contexts, allowing them to gain new significance and depth.

Sidorovas’s technique fluidly bridges representation and abstraction, examining and questioning the visual and conceptual identities of the objects he portrays. By deconstructing, deforming, and simplifying his subjects, he exposes their essence, transforming them into visual symbols that carry deeper social and cultural meanings. This reductionist approach is intellectually enriched by references to contemporary philosophy and art theory, inviting viewers to reinterpret the roles and narratives of everyday items.

In his work, Sidorovas avoids mimicry; instead, he seeks to transform ordinary objects into symbols that transcend their conventional roles. His paintings open new realms of interpretation, suggesting that even the simplest items can possess complex and layered significance.
