I miraculously got into my now native college. Having difficulty catching up with my classmates for the first couple of years, gradually and not without surprise, I began to realize that I was beginning to sincerely love what I had so unexpectedly and spontaneously taken up. I didn't attend art schools or studios before college. Despite the fact that there were well-known Tula artists in the circle of close friends of my family, for some reason I did not look towards such a nature of creative activity. So far, I have not had the urge to enroll in the architectural faculty of St. Petersburg University. I "had to" do the drawing necessary for passing the entrance exams, taking external preparatory courses at my college. Then it was decided to try to enroll in the college itself for one year in order to further tighten the schedule. Only the graphics.. And there I learned what painting, composition and, oddly enough, WHAT drawing is... I never fell in love with painting, which I did not need for admission to the architect, I fell in love with drawing, which I no longer needed for admission to the architect. The pairs in the composition generally became an outlet, they helped me finally realize that I had discovered something unexpected in myself. I loved sports, loved mathematics, physics, drawing, literature, rode horses for several years, went dancing, was fond of archaeology, graduated from music school, then school with a gold medal, passed the stupid exam decently.. I went to college to study painting. Believe me, I'm not writing this out of any pride at all, but because my choice looked really absurd to everyone who knew me. But I'm happy!) I think it was the right decision, the most successful combination of circumstances that has ever happened in my life. The planned year has already stretched to the final year.
As you understand, I will not go to the architect.)
Therefore, here is a young artist at the very beginning of his creative path! Some of my works are already in private collections of customers from Dagestan, Georgia, Kazakhstan and several cities of our vast homeland. And I will be very glad to add my sketches, paintings, sketches or graphic compositions to your private collection.
