His surreal creatures are full of life and fill the paintings with light heartedness. Molev pays careful attention to household items, clothing details, and accessories. This is evident through his thorough graphic techniques and attention to colour. Molev has created his own recognizable visual language that gives his works unique individualism. His notable portraits at once exhibit literal metaphors and hidden meanings that trick
the eye. The representation of celebrities’ faces are hidden in paintings of mundane and fantastical elements. Through these paintings it is possible to suddenly recognize the face of Chekov within a landscape framed by bare trees, and see Einstein’s features amidst scattered chess pieces. Molev’s present work shows his consistent visual explorations and discovery of new
methods. He is well suited in the endless spectrum of contemporary art. His niche and unique contribution to the field of art grant him an audience that is never left indifferent.
