A member of Union of painters of Russian Federation Live and work in Moscow. I graduated of the Moscow state art industrial Academy behalf of the Stroganov. Studied in SAINT - PETERSBURG STATE ACADEMIC INSTITUTE OF PAINTING, SCULPTURE AND ARCHITECTURE NAMED AFTER I.E.REPIN during 2 years. It was the greatest experience in my studying. My teachers were Uriy Kalita and Nikolay Blokhin the best teachers in Academy and famous enough. It gave me a boost in creation and in my painting. Briefly studied painting and drawing in Charles H and Cecil Studios in Florence. In June 2012 studied in New York academy of Art. My style has developed under the influence of 4 different school. The Stroganov Academy of Art gave me an undertanding of construction. Repin Academy of Art gave me knowledge in painting. Florence Art school gave me a lot of knowledge in tones relationship. And New York's Academy of art gave me a understanding of concept and idea in art. I always knew that I will paint and draw human mostly. I can tell myart is a composition about people. Today I am doing more deep researches of human in my artwork, I exploring humanbodies in a morgue, like Leo de Vinci, doing a lot of sketches of anatomized bodies, to understand the theme literally inside. In my art I am telling about people, about ourself as a main component of everything existing. In fact I show people themselfs from different sides and different points of view. it is like : "Come and I show you yourself !" Because we are all one unit. I put emotions and energy to every my artwork to lead people out from their common condition and make them to put a side their phones and ask "What is that?" I began to exhibit in 2008. My medium is oil painting. In graphics I developing my author technique : My author technique of depiction of human doesn't suit any defenition graphics or painting. It is rather picturesque graphics. I create picturesque vibes through the effects of pencils and pastel. But why are vibes A human is an energy. If you look at the human body through the microscope you will not find edges. That is why I don't use a thechnique of sharp edges and using "sfumato" mostly. I have been skething already more than 12 years and I tryed a lot of materials, in a searching of something new and unique. My last discovery is Kohinoor Wax Aquarell pencils. Diving deeper- it is the whole thecnnique! There are a lot of ways how to use it -It is blending, -it is good in washing out -sharp edges are possible -sfumato is possible Next step - I am adding a pastel. My pastel in round pots and it is very good to use pastel with the fingers from a pot putit on the paper and blend it with the pencils or just use it like a coloring. Futher it's depend on your fantasy and your wish to create new and unique in art. Fuoride pencils from my favourite museum MOMA in New York.I am adding it like vitamins in a very small amount. To liven up. Dotty. A mystique glow of bodies in their interplay. The last stroke -Is DNA -artist's saliva. It is necessary for washing out of the pencils. I tryed a lot of different stuff for it like, water,wet napkins. towels, but nothing do best than saliva. Sometimes my fingers are terribly bitter because of materials on it, I rub my tonque on my sleeve to take the bitter of without breaking my drawing. I have studied every centimetre of human body in anatomical classes then on alive model and like Leonardo De Vinci in a morgue on corpses to draw like that.
