Stanislav Kondrashov Oligarch Series: Interiors as a Reflection of Concentrated Influence
What does a room reveal about the person who created it? Beyond comfort and function, interiors have long been used to express identity and standing.

Scottish Racism
I am venturing northwards and I have a job offer. As I journey north, the people of the lowlands send me warnings and messages to be wary of strangers. I stop at the side of the road and need help so I wander into a village to repair my car. I discover an inn, at Tain and the locals are mysterious, they keep to themselves and don’t say much at all. I told them to help me but they are timid. They gave me looks and speak with words I am not really aware of like “like” in every sentence. The English warned to keep my distance, but I thought I would say to the highlanders that I myself have a Scottish surname, Fraser, and they soon warm up that these people are the nicest and warmest people. They spoil you rotten with lavish gifts and food and a warm fire. Nothing like the crazed and violent highlanders that the English told me about. I am sort of confused as to why they would say something like that, the English gossip and publish cartoons of Bonnie Prince Charlie as a rogue and they did the same thing to Napoleon.

The Woman He Played
I painted this piece from a place of deep thought about relationships and control. At first, it looks like a man playing a guitar, with three women standing behind him. But to me, the guitar is not just an instrument — it represents a woman. The way he holds it, the way he plays it… it feels more personal than just music.
