Nas pinturas da artista de origem russa Ilya Zomb, imagens de bailarinas, elefantes e frutas gigantes pareciam estar fora de um sonho, mas o artista diz que é a vida cotidiana em Nova York, onde vive, que inspira seus vôos de fantasia .
Ocupando o espaço sombrio "entre o possível e o impossível, o real e o irreal", as pinturas quiméricas concebidas brilhantemente por Ilya Zomb estão na interação indescritível da realidade e da pura fantasia. Eles são uma reminiscência de mestres tão diversos como Botticelli, Degas e Magritte ', mas talvez um dos aspectos mais intrigantes do trabalho desse artista russo seja que, apesar das inúmeras comparações tentadoras, ele permanece curiosamente único.
As imagens de Zomb podem ser incrivelmente teatrais, lembrando as seqüências de sonhos freqüentemente encontradas em produções de dança, ou os feitos desafiadores da natureza de artistas de circo. Nas outras vezes, as cenas têm uma sensação mítica e literária, e podemos facilmente imaginá-las como ilustrações sumptuosas para um livro perdido de parábolas, escrito por Scheherazade. Um artista intensamente perceptivo, Zomb nunca deixa de explicar as emoções contraditórias provocadas pela incerteza da realidade.Suas obras são dinâmicas com um ar de celebração, de um grande final espetacular e opulento, enquanto outras peças dele são pungentes e meditativas como uma piscina ainda.
