Victor Ribas

Victor Ribas is an artist who explores the mental space around him with scientific instruments. His extraordinary artworks in his own technique of laser sculpture are created especially for NFT. There are also traditional 2D prints available to the NFT buyer from the attached 20x30cm image file.

Moving 3D images are photographs that have come to life, previously captured using his proprietary laser technique. The concept of its visuality consists in the complete subordination of lighting to the photographer - it seems to collect all the surrounding light into a thin beam and directs it only to the place of space that needs to be designated. Thematically, his futuristic works correlate with the state of modern Russian society, when, often naked, the body acts as a metaphor for certain social phenomena and reveals or predicts certain social changes. For example, his work "The Red Ballerina", frozen between two acts of the ballet "Swan Lake", symbolizes the USSR during the coup d'etat of 1991, his work "Nurse" is a totemic image of Russia, as seen by those who use the country's rich natural resources as with the breast milk of her wet nurse, ready to feed everyone and unable to refuse anyone. The laser sculpture "Miss Pandemic" is a symbol of our coronavirus time, the main character of the early twenties all over the world, a lady who occupies the first places in all ratings of news, the artist strongly recommends avoiding meeting with her.

The history of the emergence of this laser sculpture was as unusual as its very image. This art turned out to be the only one that I created for the entire time of the Covid-19 pandemic. The problems associated with coronavirus restrictions captured me so much that none of the pre-existing ideas were of any interest to me. I met a small number of people who were as busy with current problems as me and they did not create an incentive to create a new masterpiece. But one of my colleagues, performance artist Nastya Belova, came to me in the image that she created for her new performance - she walked with this dangerous garden tool for several weeks through the streets of Moscow, accompanied by the curious audience of the street theater. I named this image Miss Pandemic.

Another of the main characters of our pandemic time is the doctor, who at the first lines meets patients suffering from coronavirus. I personally received tremendous support from him in my own fight against COVID-19.

Those image and melody are recognizable everywhere. But in Russia this melody has a very specific connotation. Near 30 years ago 'Swan Lake' ballet was always aired on Soviet TV in the moments of misfortune or mental collapse of Russian authorities when they had nothing to say to the nation. The soundtrack I use is a real record of the Swan ballet broadcast on August 19, 1991 when a coup happened. The so called GKChP (the State Committee for the State of Emergency) tried to remove Gorbachev and Yeltsin from power. The whole country was waiting for answers but there was nothing on TV accept The Swan Lake. The music you can hear is just the ending of the 1st Act of the ballet. And then you can hear the rising noise of TV equipment and a rustle in the Bolshoi Theater where the ballet was recorded. The whole country was waiting with growing tensely in front of the screens when Siegfried would remove the curse from the bewitched Odette implying own destiny in her. And I think these curses are not broken until now.

Still a dominating Totem of Russia, a Universal Nurse who can feed everyone who needs it. Beside her, everyone feels like a baby and instinctively strives to suck her breast for vital substances. Too often Russia appears like this very Nurse with all its treasures of mineral resources, fresh water and rich forests. Even well educated and prepared for life, young Russian people discover that all their skills and knowledge are conditioned by the only primal ability – the ability to access the virtual breast of the Universal Nurse and suck out of it oil, gas, and other riches that were kept for ages by this main totem of Russia.
