"I CALL MY WORKS "HIERATURES". HIERATURA IS BORN ECSTATICALLY. I CREATE A NEW NON-VERBAL LANGUAGE OF THE THIRD MILLENNIUM. UNTIL I AM BORN IN NON-EXISTENCE, I SAY OUT LOUD: LANGUAGE OF THE THIRD MILLENNIUM IS FORMED AND ESTABLISHED BY THE ACTS OF THE HIERATURES."
Mikhail Shvartsman was a painter, working within an artistic-philosophical system called "hieratism" (from Greek — iconic, holly). He graduated from Stroganov State University and in his artistic career considered as a sacral action, during which the spiritual experience receives an artistic embodiment.
Mikhail Shvartsman's works are in collections at the Tretyakov Gallery, the Russian Museum, at European and North American museums.
By metro
We recommend travelling to Mayakovskaya metro station. The walk to the AZ Museum will take around five minutes. After leaving the station, turn first to the right into the alley, then moving forward, at the first intersection, turn left to 2nd Tverskaya-Yamskaya street. Walk a few meters. AZ Museum will be on your right.
By car
There are paid parking spaces on either side of 2nd Tverskaya-Yamskaya street or in the nearest alleys. Parking is limited, and on weekends and public holidays, the parking lots may be full.
