Maxim Zhestkov is a digital artist and designer.[1][2] His significant style includes using spheres as a universal medium that represents blocks in complex structures[3], such as 'emotions, behaviors, thought processes, relationships, life, planets and the universe.'[4]
Early life and education
Born and raised in Ulyanovsk, Maxim got into digital illustration and video games as a child.[5] He studied architecture and graphic design at Ulyanovsk State University.[6]
Work
As a designer, Zhestkov worked on commissions for Google, Ford,[7] Microsoft, Adobe,[8] MTV, Nokia,[9] Adidas,[10] UEFA,[11], BMW.[12]
In his art practice, he aims to 'create a universal visual language that combines design, architecture, and computer graphics.' Using realistic digital simulations that are based on real-world physics,[13] Zhestkov explores algorithms made by nature and humanity.
In his work, the artist imagines different scenarios of the future, such as computing devices integrated into architecture in his film Computations[14] or artificial intelligence controlling its own evolution in Artificial Organisms.[15] Another theme present in his oeuvre is the examination of natural forces and patterns.[16][17]
