As far as I remember from childhood I was always interested in drawing and after receiving education in the field of science after some time I decided to get art education. Watercolor inspires me every day with a huge set of its expressive properties. It is unpredictable, variable and very whimsical - it requires a high speed of decision about what the next artistic step in the work will be and at the same time it requires thinking through the stages of work. I am also inspired by the world around me and try to show its beauty in my works. Bright colors, sunlight and its shadow opposite - what I want to capture and convey to the viewer. In my work I use only high-quality materials - the best cotton paper and watercolor paints.
My interest as an artist is focused primarily on the study of color and tonal diversity of natural and architectural objects, I always learn from fellow artists who are as much as I am in love with watercolor
