Avant-Garde Artist, Teacher, Art Theorist, Philosopher Kazimir Severinovich MalevichKazimir Malevich (1878-1935) is a Soviet avant-gare artist of Polish descent. He was also an avant-garde artist, a teacher, an art theorist, and a philosopher. Malevich was the founder of suprematism, one of the major trends in abstract art. Suprematism was one of the most influential trends in abstract art in the twentieth century. The structure of the universe is expressed through simple geometric shapes: a straight line, rectangle, circle, or square on a light background, symbolizing the infinite space.

The ideas of suprematism, started by the famous "Black Square," have been applied in architecture, scenery, printing, and industrial design. Kazimir Malevich stated that suprematism connects with the Earth, but through its economic creations, it alters the entire architecture on Earth in a mundane sense, connecting with the expansive space of moving planetary systems. In 1923, Malevich actively developed the theory of "the Additional Element", which became part of his main treatise, "The Non-Objective World". Using this concept, he attempted to explain the mechanisms of the evolution of new art. According to his opinion, within each system of new art, there is a dominant plastic "atom," a structural module that contains complete information about the system. When placed in someone else's scenic environment, it becomes an "influencing agent" and, functioning as a microorganism or virus, slowly transforming it into a new basis. Rustam Khalfin was a student of Vladimir Sterligov, who was a student of Kazimir Malevich. After years of research, Rustam Khalfin invented a new additional element, the "pulota".
