Piotr Diakov mainly does sculpture, objects, and installations. He researches the image of man inside nature. In his artistic practice, the artist turns to Baroque, simultaneously playing and deconstructing its main features - exorbitance, theatricality, eye for gesture, and expressivity. The hallmark of Diakov’s method is using molds of his own hands to create plastic shapes.
His works were exhibited in the State Russian Museum and Moscow Museum of Modern Art. Piotr Diakov is a participant and co-founder of the North-7 group, whitch with he became the winner of the Present Continuous Award of the V-A-C Foundation together with the M HKA Museum (2018), nominee of the Sergey Kuryokhin Award for Contemporary Art (2018) and the National Innovation Award for Contemporary Art (2019). Piotr worked as a decorating sculptor for Alexey German Junior (films Under Electric Clouds and Dovlatov).
His works are included in the collection of the M KHA Museum of Contemporary Art (Antwerpen, Belgium) and the Museum of 20th–21st Century Art of Saint-Petersburg.
