(* “ZA/UM” is an artificial word created by the Russian futurist poets movement from the beginning of the XX century. It’s literary translation is riddled with possibilities: is it “for the Mind” or is it “from the Mind”, none can say – it’s a play on words. Although originally written “zaum” we prefer to add an extra slash in order for the Mind to pronounce it’s syllables with proper sex-appeal.)

is a gentleman artist of the pop variety. Which goes to say he specializes in digital art - from digital painting and graphic novels to indie-gaming - and always with a keen eye on historical content. In his works Rostov's nostalgic turns translate into a wide historical aesthetic, ranging from victorian steampunk to Europe before le petit revolution, the Fench student riots of ´68. Beside art, Rostov fashions himself a conoisseur of both mainstream and indie gaming.
