Artistic vision
I am mainly engaged in figurative painting, abstraction, sometimes I turn to still life and landscape. The colour palette ranges from dilute pastels to bright rich colours depending on the image being portrayed. I use a brush, a palette knife, and sometimes my fingers; I try to convey emotions on the canvas, to show the main points, without being distracted by the details.
Since 2019, I have been cooperating with the Carré d’artistes gallery (Moscow).
My paintings can be found in private collections of the USA, China, Italy, Finland and many Russian cities.
