Vladimír Kiseljov’s expressive paintings aim to convey his synesthetic perception of the world – the author perceives music and all other sensorial perceptions in color, thus connecting all the senses of the viewer with his paintings – colors, philosophical meaning, music, movement, space and time.
He is the author of his own artistic current – Synesthetics.
He carries out unique musical- painting performances together with excellent musicians (Hansjörg Albrecht, Milan Al Ashab, Michael Bártek, Eduard Šístek, Ludmila Pavlová, Petr Kolař, Jaroslav Svěcený, Jan Ryant Dřízal, etc.)
His exhibitions are curated by Mgr. Vlasta Čiháková Noshiro Ph.D., Aleš Seifert, Alena Ochepovsky Bartková, Jiří Tichý and others.
