Artist Statement:
Engaged in painting from early childhood. I did not finish a special educational institution, but I study with great masters. I work in different techniques, but I prefer canvas and oil. I also make graphic drawings, sculptures, drawings on clothes.
Painting for me is always improvisation, when I start work on the canvas I don’t know the final result. I am completing work on a picture with an arrangement of accents this is like a" cherry on a cake".
In my work I use brushes, large and small, a palette knife, hands. I apply paints with thick strokes, pour and spray paint, create a multilayer coating.
But the main thing in working on the picture is a state of mind. I never start a picture unless I not feel inspired.
