ABOUT US
Hello! We are Pavel & Olga.
We are a young family of artists from Russia. We are vegetarian (strive to be vegan) and non smokers.

We began our journey through life together about 15 years ago in college. After college Pavel worked as an artist and photographer in advertising. Olga worked in fashion industry as an designer. Then, about 7 years ago, we merged into a single command to create variety of creative and commercial projects. And since spring 2011 we began our journey around the world.
Now in the journey we are looking for a balance between the work, the art creation, spiritual enrichment and enjoyment of life. Thereby we gave yourself more time for creativity and to focus on the human life, environment and way of life.

Music, Movies, and Books

We watch any movie with pleasure, but not mindless comedies, epic movies, action films.
We like the philosophical films, such as "Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter...and Spring" by Kim Ki Duk, "Samsara" by Pan Nalin.
And we have tender feelings to documentary genre. Films by Ron Fricke (Baraka, Samsara), by Yann Arthus-Bertrand (Human, Home, Planet Ocean),

Five years ago (when we started to make the profile) we used to look many different
films. Such as Nordic film industry movies by Roy Andersson and Norwegian films: The Borthersome man, Tatt av kvinnen, Nord). Some dramas – Babel by Alejandro G. Iñárritu, The Game by David Fincher, Revolutionary Road by Sam Mendes, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind by Michel Gondry, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Milos Forman. And films based on real events. For example The Last Station by Michael Hoffman, You Don't Know Jack by Barry Levinson, Gandhi by Richard Attenborough, Kundun by Martin Scorsese, Desert Flower by Sherry Horman, The Pianist by Roman Polanski, 127 Hours by Danny Boyle.

Cartoons we love passionately and we can view them over and over again. Good animation from studios Ghibli and Pixar. We like almost everything. Copyright films: L'illusionniste by Sylvain Chomet, $9.99 by Tatia Rosenthal.
