About The Artwork
A man in Fayum portrait manner. This portrait continues the series of images “The Fayum portrait of XXI century”. What Fayum? The portrait of Fayum is a type of naturalistic portrait painted on wooden boards with wax(encaustic technique) or tempera and were used for funerals in the early centuries of our Era. The artistic tradition of the images has its routes in Ancient Rome and Egypt. They usually depict a single person, showing the head, or head and upper chest viewed frontally. Big, wide open eyes that look straight on the viewer are the focus of the whole portrait. I was inspired by this art to portray the mythical romantic people that live in my imagination. Though these people are our contemporaries I use the stylistic language of Fayum portraits transforming it into contemporary art with aquarelle and oil techniques. Want you to add to your home the refined spirit of ancient worlds while keeping it modern? This one of a kind portrait series won't leave you indifferent. watercolor on paper, Hahnemuhle 300g paper One of a kind artwork Size: 24 × 18 × 0,1 cm The work has a name and is signed on the reverse side, and also has a certificate of authenticity.

Russia
I am an artist born in Moscow and it's my home. I work with, oil, watercolor and mosaic. Portraits, landscapes and sometimes genre scenes are the focus of my artistic interests. The heroes of my portraits are imaginary persons, the fruits of my immersion in the creative process, and mirror my inner state or sometimes are its antagonists. I find a lot of inspiration in Medieval, Byzantium, late Egyptian art. Its conventional spiritual language which was to express the inexpressible, visualize the invisible, I transform into modern materials such as watercolor and oil. Morandi and the artists of Ecole de Paris such as Modigliani, Picasso, Matisse, Villon, Bonard had a big impact on my approach. Many of them praised what western world now call "primitive arts" and invented the language of contemporary art. In my landscapes I’m searching for a state of a gorgeous moment, understatement and aesthetic of a pause between the depicted objects which creates the very tension and uniqueness of the moment.
