b.1983, Lenger, Kazakhstan, lives and works in Berlin
His neo-expressionist and symbolic works, raw and unfiltered, echo Berlin’s
contradictions—violence, displacement, and resilience. Working in a
countryside studio, Dik channels his ideas onto multiple canvases at once, often
incorporating the textures of his environment into his "floor paintings." His
techniques range from Pollock-like splashes to layered, mountainous textures,
pushing the boundaries of oil paint.
Dik’s art confronts grand themes of origin, war, and displacement, often
provocative and unsettling, yet deeply resonant. Inspired by artists like Georg
Baselitz, he embraces controversy, challenging norms both as a man and a
painter.
