animated film about the artist wassily kandinsky

In April 2025 we started work on a documentary about the artist Wassily Kandinsky. The film was initiated by the company More Art with the support of the Presidential Fund for Cultural Initiatives, to tell the story of the abstractionism Kandinsky created, how it influenced the modern world, and how almost everything we see around us in art, architecture and even interior design is his legacy.

In 2026 the film was selected for the Asolo Art Film Festival in Italy, where Tarkovsky was awarded many years ago.

The work turned out to be very complex. Kandinsky, who worked at the beginning of the 20th century, published several books — "Point and Line to Plane", "Reminiscences", "Concerning the Spiritual in Art". He left behind a great many ideas and theories that could not possibly fit into a twelve-minute film.

But we tried, and finally, with the help of experts in twentieth-century art, we got to the essence. Kandinsky reflected a lot on spirituality, on the true path of art, on how and why form should work with feelings and evoke emotions.

That is what we decided to make the film about — and to show exactly which means achieved this dialogue between the artist and the viewer.

To tell the artist's story we chose several techniques — motion design, frame-by-frame animation and artificial intelligence.

We paid great attention to artificial intelligence. We ran a large part of Kandinsky's paintings through AI to explain, with examples, how the artist's visual language works.

The film will be available a little later, and from it you will learn not only about the artist himself but also how and why Kandinsky changed humanity's visual thinking.
