The Moscow-based artist Roma Manikhin

universe, which he uses to address themes

of marginal sexuality and the fetishism of

sex. Bright colors, expressive forms and a

touch of sentimentcharacterize his work,

which comprises painting, installation art

and print graphic design. Since 2005, he

has worked as a magazine illustrator for

major publishing houses.

Manikhin was born in 1977 in Moscow. He

graduated from the Stroganov Moscow

State University of Arts and Industry with

a degree in Communication Design in

2008. Latest solo exhibitions include
