My work is my life and my inspiration
is the world around me; the change of moods in nature, the look
on people's faces and in their eyes. Probably, to "look"
is the main part of an artist's work - to look and then think of
how to get it on canvas.
The famous Salvador Dali once said that, first of all, an artist
had to learn to draw like Raphael and Vermeer, and then he had all
the rights to experiment as he likes. The old Chinese masters of
brush claimed that, first of all, a painter had to master all the
available styles of painting, so that he could then go beyond their
scopes and finally create his own unique style.
From Ukraine, I attained a high quality education in art, with
continuous studies of all styles for 17 years! I could easily create
beautiful, high quality and completely comprehensive works for the
public. However such a "straight" style does not correspond
to my creative nature. I strive for new and unexplored possibilities
to reflect my own unique vision of reality. All my paintings are
sincere reflections of my inner-self; my colourful, bright and positive
inner-world. Like all true artists, I never feel about the retail
potential of my work - I paint because I cannot live without it. |
