About The Artwork
I have students with whom we sometimes go to paint in museums to study the styles of different eras of art. Now we are going through late antiquity and on our last trip, we looked at the Fayum encaustic portraits for the Egyptian sarcophagi. During this period, Egypt was invaded by Alexander the Great, and the local art was influenced by the antique style. These portraits inspire me a lot and they influenced my painting style. This portrait was painted under the impression of the last trip to the Fayum hall of the Moscow Museum of Fine Arts. This picture connects us with a great style in art, to which people of all eras turn as a source of beauty and inspiration, these qualities gave it the right to be called classic. In this portrait, I refer specifically to the classics, using new materials, which gives it a modern sound.

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.
