Face To The Jungle
Kirill and Anastasia Abramova
Face to the Jungle is a mural project that fuses intuitive abstraction with psychological exploration. Executed directly onto architectural surfaces at Botanica Tulum Hotel in Mexico, the work dissolves the boundary between the external landscape and inner vision.
Rather than offering representational clarity, Face to the Jungle invites the viewer into a terrain of deliberate ambiguity a space where the mind drifts, reorients, and momentarily loses its bearings. The project does not aim to depict nature, but to reflect the tangled mental thickets we navigate daily. The mural becomes a map of the unconscious an invitation to rediscover the self: stranger, more fluid, and intimately bound to the wild.
Kirill Abramov describes his method as a practice of prolonged observation an extended gaze that continues until the object dissolves into pure perception. Only at the moment of this dissolution does the act of painting begin.
“My goal is to bring order to chaos and to question what is commonly accepted as reality.”
In Face to the Jungle, painting moves beyond the surface and becomes a spatial statement a visual environment that, through contrasting colors and intentionally chaotic forms, generates tension and draws the viewer beyond the familiar, immersing them in an intuitive landscape of the psyche.
Special thanks to Saorom and Keroz. The music album is an integral part of the Face to the Jungle project a collaboration between the two composers that creates a sonic layer complementing the visual and spatial exploration.
