Artist Statement:
I started to draw in infancy
when I learned to crawl. I
used the materials on hand,
from jam to grass to flowers
smeared together trying to
replicate my visions on walls,
paper and anything else I
could reach. Once, my father
lost sight of me and I turned
our newly-painted house into a
giant mural with my childhood
fantasies. Fortunately, my
parents were pretty wise
people, and instead of
punishment – or perhaps as a
punishment – they sent me off
to art school.
At the art school, I was an
obstinate student and always
had conflicts with teachers
arguing about color usage. It
was Soviet Russia, and
everybody had to be the same.
I was usually inclined to use
vivid colors instead of
natural gradations trying to
cultivate my own style.
After the USSR fell, I had
more freedom in creative
expression. I scooped
inspiration from mythology and
cultures of different nations,
producing a series of works
with divinities and tales.
Currently, I live and work in
the USA. My artwork varies
from realism to mystical
surrealism. I use different
media but oil-painting is
still my favorite.
