Blue whale in space Painting

I was born and raised in Yekaterinburg, Russia. I was educated as a social teacher at the Sverdlovsk Regional Pedagogical College. For 10 years I worked in an advertising agency organizing festive and promotional events, then I radically changed my field of activity and for the next 9 years I became a subject and interior photographer. Since childhood, I have been drawing with pencil and pastel, taking anatomical drawing courses, but I realized that it is important for me to create not the correct lines, but to put my feelings, thoughts and sensations on the canvas as I see it. At the age of 34, I moved to live in Sri Lanka for several years and there I first painted my first 3 oil paintings, which are now on display in a local restaurant in Weligama. In subsequent years, I lived in Europe and painted a few more paintings there, which now live in Poland and Germany. Now I live in Turkey and my paintings travel with me. In my works, I talk about what the syndrome of Depersonalization and Derealization is, because most people in this world experience these specific sensations at least once in their lives. I'm talking about the fact that at the moment of stress, the subconscious of any of us can isolate itself from the outside world, we can perceive our body as if from the outside, we can perceive the world around us as a movie or scenery. It's normal, it's not scary. I perceive this quality of mine as a superpower and I am happy that I have learned to live with it and regenerate these sensations into art.
