Dmitriev Video is a 3D artist who specialises in recreating nostalgic scenes from his childhood memory. These works, which the artist calls 'artefacts', capture moments of every day life growing up in the 1990s and 2000s--watching cartoons on TV, playing football outside, being fascinated by the way the sun rays pass through the window and illuminate and speck of dust... By capturing these sweet and heartwarming moments, Dmitriev aims to create an emotional bond with the viewer, a moment of respite, stating: "And even if it feels like nothing good is happening in your life at the moment, these artefacts will remind you of how things used to be." His works can thus be also viewed as a form of artistic escapism.
What is striking about the artist's work is that the depictions are able to transmitted to an audience from all over the world, lacking a cultural specificity despite the artist's upbringing in Russia. The works demonstrate a shared emotion, experience and nostalgia that transcend cultural and geographical borders, reminding the viewer that we were all once just children with big dreams and simple pleasures. Due to this universal visual language, the artist has experienced great success on social media, with almost 100,000 followers on Instagram and over 25,000 subscribers on his Youtube channel, where the artist produces 3D video tutorials.
