From Studio to Catalogue: More Works by AEC Now Digitized

We are pleased to announce that we have extended our catalogue with outstanding works by Aleksei Bordusov, aka Aec Interesni Kazki! This new addition greatly enhances the overall portfolio, and we invite everyone to see these masterpieces in full resolution. 

Our team recently had the privilege of visiting Aec Interesni Kazki in his Tenerife studio, where we photographed and digitized 13 of his remarkable pieces.

The newly added works include: The Seventh Trumpet and Primordial Travelers (painting and drawing), Establishing of a Platano Dictatorship, Date Under The Full Moon, Invaders, The Lovers Dance, Carefree Smoker’s Walk, Two Women Talking, The Appearance Of Otherworldly Bride (painting and drawing), Olbers's Paradox Discussion, Talk About The Woman, and Empiricist and Mystic. 

Aleksei Bordusov was born in 1980 in Kyiv, Ukraine. He developed his foundational drawing and painting skills during his studies in architecture at the Art Academy. Upon graduating, he realized that a career in architecture wasn't his calling, and he chose to focus solely on art. 

In the late 1990s, he began painting on the streets of Kyiv as part of a graffiti crew. However, after several years, he grew tired of the medium. 

In 2005, Aec partnered with Waone to create works that moved beyond traditional graffiti lettering. Drawing inspiration from global murals, especially those from Brazil, Aec and Waone formed the Interesni Kazki duo, renowned for their distinctive style in contemporary muralism. 

Fusing science fiction, fantasy, and Ukrainian cultural traditions, they crafted a dreamlike universe populated by enigmatic figures. After over a decade of successful collaboration and numerous street pieces, the duo parted ways in May 2016, with both Aec and Waone pursuing their artistic journeys as solo creators. Since then, Aleksei Bordusov has showcased his art in numerous solo and group exhibitions, as well as participated in various projects.

The artist has explored a wide range of techniques but ultimately found that the traditional paintbrush provides unmatched creative freedom. Today, he predominantly uses brushes and acrylic paints to craft murals, while dedicating much of his time to studio work. In the studio, he creates intricate pieces on canvases and paper using acrylics, watercolor, ink, and oil paints. 

Through his striking artworks, Aec Interesni Kazki showcases his exceptional ability to create allegorical and figurative pieces that invite interpretation without relying on direct imagery. This allows viewers to engage with the work freely, interpreting it in their own way, guided by their imagination.
