Viewing Room | Evgeny Chubarov. Untitled, 1994–1995

Deeply inspired by Byzantine, Armenian, Russian, and Arabic art—particularly illuminated manuscripts, calligraphy, and architectural ornament—Chubarov immersed himself in these historical forms. Working across Berlin, New York, and Moscow, he often surrounded himself with reproductions of these masterpieces. Chubarov regarded his artistic vocation as that of a “medium,” channeling diverse cultural legacies and uniting different spiritual worlds within a single, singular vision.
