Maxim Frolov is a contemporary artist based in London.
In his projects, Maxim explores the variability of transgression and freedom forms, touching upon the theme of self-identification through the prism of new ethics and aesthetics.

Working across various media, including painting, objects, video art, and installations, the artist employs visual codes of post-digitalism and photorealism in his paintings. The sketch part is created through a collage method, then translated onto the canvas using acrylic or oil paints. Maxim's works bear the influence of the pictures generation and American art of the 90s.

When creating projects and distinct visual objects, Maxim draws on experiences acquired prior to his formal education in the higher academic school, including musical experiences, integrating sound accompaniment into his projects.
