ABOUT THE ARTWORK

From the series "Musical impressions from the music of Camille Saint Saens." Camille Saint-Saëns’s music is viewed as a classic piece with a serious undertone. However, Camille Saint-Saëns himself was an unusually cheerful person, living his life to its fullest. Humor together with irony accompanied the composer his whole life. He wrote a comical suite for an ensemble, named “Carnival of Animals”. He called his masterpiece a “Great zoological fantasy”. “Elephant”. This majestic animal is represented by the lowest sounding instrument in the orchestra, the double bass. He performs graceful themes in parodies at a slow pace, with the accompaniment of the three-beat waltz of the piano, from the music of Felix Mendelssohn to Hector Berlioz. The irony is that Saint-Saëns entrusted these melodies to those originally written by composers for high-sounding instruments, such as the violin and the flute, to a heavy-sounding double bass. This creates the image of the Elephant trying on pointe shoes, beginning to perform ballet “Pa”.

Welcome to my Gallery of Original Oil Paintings, Landscapes and Florals. My art is a mix of real images and inner feelings. One and the same plot can be bright and contrasting, or it can be pale, with subtle halftones. It depends on the mood at the time. My main goal is to find the abstract in the real, to push the boundaries of what I see. Texture is important. From smooth and smooth to rough and voluminous with a thick layer of paint. With texture and color, I try to emphasize inner experiences. I usually work in a good mood to bring positive energy to the viewer. All artwork is original, painted with love and passion.
