Bacchante Painting

I brought the love of drawing from childhood to adulthood. He was educated as an artist first at a children's art school where the wonderful watercolorist N.I. Ivanov, and then in the art college of the city of Blagoveshchensk, Amur region, which he graduated in 1978 .. As a student, he traveled all over the Far East with geological expeditions. He lived in a tent in the taiga. I met with both bears and wolves, and constantly admired the surrounding severely beautiful nature, where almost no human foot had set foot, and the first settlement was at a distance of five hundred kilometers. And he constantly painted with watercolors and pencils. I packed a full backpack of these impressions of the taiga, mountains, the Sea of ​​Japan and the Sea of ​​Okhotsk. And these impressions of mine were stolen in the train carriage when I was returning home. They stole a beautiful piece of life and scattered them out of anger along the entire railway. He lived in the city of Khabarovsk, where he was engaged in administrative work along the way, collaborating with publishing houses, performing graphic drawings and designing printed publications. From the end of the 90s he was engaged in business and only after moving to Moscow in 2004 and plunging into the creative life of the capital of Russia again took up brushes and paints. In my works, I convey my admiration for the beautiful female body in the style of romantic eroticism. Favorite themes of paintings are sea views with ships of past eras, mountain landscapes, animals. I love working on portraits. I especially like to paint eyes, these mirrors of the soul, and I am constantly looking for my own style. Works are in private collections in Russia, France, Germany, China, Taiwan, Holland
