Having started his art career among Moscow non-conformists, Kawarga developed his unique style in biomorphic sculptures and installations. Today, he deals with a wide range of polymers, which he uses as material for both large-scale landscape sculptures and miniature highly-detailed compositions.
Most of his works are based on the synthesis of art and technology, created in collaboration with scientists, programmers, and engineers. These interactive kinetic objects have been displayed at international exhibitions and festivals of contemporary high-tech art, including Lexus Hybrid Art (Russia), Ars Electronica (Austria), FILE Electronic Language International Festival (Brazil), Cybfest (Russia, USA), etc.
