Taavi Tulev "Infinity"

Taavi Tulev is a soundscape designer who has brought his drafting skills into his hobby, creating works that artist Kiwa has described as geometric psychedelia. The curves and lines in his paintings form a kind of mandala, which can take the viewer on a journey to distant galaxies or pave the way into their inner cosmos.

"In my images, the guiding idea has often been, to a certain extent, impossibility. There are images whose concept is expressed through fractal-like similarity, where the same picture can be seen from any distance. There are also images that can only be experienced by viewing the final work itself—because of their subtleties, they cannot be photographed or reproduced in any other way, whether in print or as a smaller digital version," Taavi Tulev explains the ideas behind his work, adding:

"The works also take advantage of physiological characteristics unique to humans, stemming from the eye’s ability to perceive color. These images often deliberately challenge vision, temporal perception, and geometric thinking—once the viewer reaches that level of engagement. Many of these images have neither a beginning nor an end, reflecting a kind of geometric present where past and future cannot be perceived. Hence the title, Infinity."

Taavi Tulev is known in the music scene as an electronic musician who skillfully translates natural sounds into technological soundscapes. His musical output is wide-ranging, and he has released several albums. For the best experience of Tulev’s visual work, it should be viewed in harmony with his sound world, which is why Taavi Tulev will occasionally perform musical pieces during both exhibition days in Micro-Venice.
