before Painting

All little girls are drawing princesses and ballerinas.I continue to do so after having acquired professional education of the artist. All my thoughts, dreams, emotions - sorrow, joy, love I transform in the images of ballet-dancers. Ballerinas actually can be considered as angels; the difference is that they have tutu instead of wings. My ballerinas symbolize grace of woman and her fragile soul. They are images of women. I offer to the spectators the possibility of free interpretation. Today the modern art tries to surprise the spectator, to create he shock.I want to create the delight For centuries beauty prevailed in art -- subjective and objective beauty,absolute and relative beauty. And I cling to the principle of beauty too. The images of ballerinas give me the possibility to create endless compositions, to make use of stylization and display different movements that resemble flying or floating. I am inspired by iconography, thus I use gold for background; my stylization is influenced by Gothic art and by Art Nouveau
