Paschenko is a pretty curious guy. IIRC he makes both digital art and physical works, and—again IIRC—they tend to be atmospheric like this site, if perhaps a bit less cryptic. He's big time into Orthodox Christianity—supposedly the dominant religion in the country, but most ‘believers’ here just have this checkbox in the back of their minds that they're Orthodox, and that's it.

He was employed since '99 by Art. Lebedev Studio, one of the first web design companies here, known also for the Optimus keyboard. And he wrote some time later that it took him a while to realize that Lebedev, the company's owner, was just giving him money to let him continue making his art.
