Barskiy’s quest akin to that sense of synthesis of modern civilization with the environment, which in terms of the space was named the noosphere. In his art, it is impossible to distinguish between the "bone matter" and it’s inspired condition.

As a result we face a new “real virtuality” which has more existence power than most examples of post-modernism.

Large forms presented in Barskiy’s paintings, powerful assonance, thousands of colors, dramatic direction and monumentality of idea visualization cause a sense of confusion and triumph.
