Artist Statement

Painting is my life. I can’t imagine the possibility of living without this fantastic and subtle world, where the soul dwells. Having graduated with academic honors for the best thesis of the year. I love figurative painting, especially depicting people, their inner world, experiences, and aspirations. For me, to be able to convey this is the highest achievement in art. I also love still life, stylized, decorative, and ideally complementing the modern interior. I consider drawing with a pencil or charcoal to be the basis of art. It is my favorite technique since the time of my art studies. I could spend days working on busts and figures of antique sculpture.
I am inspired by my family and New York, where I now live. This city’s dynamism sharpens my perception, and brings a greater expression to canvas, forces me to use brighter colors. My wife and children, who go every day through life’s difficulties with me and share the joy of being, are my biggest supporters. They inspire me the most. I am very grateful to them. I am optimistic about the future and look forward to the opening of new exhibitions, art fairs, and other art events.
