Dystopian in nature, yet vibrant in color and oozing with style, his ‘Rusty Skies’ is a real eye-catcher. A prime example in visual storytelling, its seemingly haphazard composition is a carefully crafted invitation to the viewer to immerse oneself in an alien, yet strangely cozy future.
In our interview, Mikhail talks about challenges and inspirations in the dystopian genre, offering a fascinating insight into his approach to world-building along the way. Continue reading to find out what lead to the downfall of society and get the full story behind the picture.
