Ruslan Ermolaev’s painting are typically executed on a large scale and characterise by the combination of figurative depiction and surreal quality.

In his work, Ruslan draws on personal memories, as well as imagery sourced from popular culture.

Inspired by suburbian nature, he depicts pastoral scenes investing in his own experiences of the landscape. Ruslan’s work is often devoted to the imagery of human or animal form placed in dreamlike spaces that feel personal and familiar yet shift to metaphysical.
