Viktor Timofeev

Viktor Timofeev is a multidisciplinary artist from Riga, Latvia currently based in New York, whose practice explores the intersections of inner worlds, language, bureaucracy and individual experience within broader social and cultural systems. Drawing from personal and societal perspectives, his work examines themes of identity, migration and communication across borders. Timofeev creates fantastical environments through drawing, painting, video and installation, often addressing the tension between integration and rebellion in structured systems. His semi-autobiographical works reflect on the cognitive dissonance between inner and outer worlds, exploring cross-cultural values and shared symbols.
