Biography
I was born and live in Siberia, in Krasnoyarsk. After graduating from art school, I studied in various painting studios, under the guidance of experienced masters. I am a member of the creative unions of amateur artists at the State Center of Folk Art of the Krasnoyarsk Territory and the Krasnoyarsk City Palace of Culture. I participate in exhibitions, plein-airs and various creative events held by the Center, where my work is highly appreciated.
Even in my youth, while studying at an art school, I fell in love with painting and creativity in all its manifestations. And this love is always with me!
The palette knife is my main artistic tool and inspiration. It allows you to express the full power of the sound of each paint. Reveal colors and their combinations. And also gives great opportunities for improvisation.
Palette knife painting reached its heyday in the XX century. When photography was already actively developing and artists stopped setting themselves the task of "drawing as in life". And the main thing in painting was: the creation of interesting combinations of colors, new creative solutions and the author's vision of the world. I also adhere to these principles!
I like to work not only in the studio, but also in the open air, because the nature of Siberia is an inexhaustible source of inspiration. I always try to create expressive and emotional works. And leave a piece of your soul in each of them, so that our world becomes warmer and more joyful.
