About The Artwork

From a trip last summer. It somehow looks like an average village in Russia. Many houses have been abandoned, roofs have collapsed. And sometimes the ruins of houses and baths are so dilapidated that they reminded me of the skeletons of extinct animals. And not many residents in these villages remain there to live out their lives. A couple of years ago, Aunt Vera, whose portrait I painted, died in the Tver region. People live there not at all richly, while remaining kind and hospitable, if they do not drink too much. And there is also the name Maryino, I live in Moscow in an area of ​​the same name, when it was also a village, on the outskirts of Moscow. I remember the song of Semyon Slepakov: And in my country everything is there: it has oil and gas in it. There is coal and there is nickel, there is not a lot of aluminum... PS: I can only remember pictures of such villages by Levitan, Savrasov and other classics who lived more than a century ago. And the appearance of the villages has changed little since that time. I am not advocating new houses with metal tiles. I just mean that the village is leaving... I would like to keep what it is. Sadness...

1979 Born in Moscow. Committed to the Russian realistic school, graduate of the Russian Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, he aspires for absolute fidelity in reproducing the reality.I am driven by the desire to do this very kind of creative activity, one which would tell the truth about the surrounding world, Simon says, Any reproduction is subjective indeed, but I do hope that my painting is close to nature and harmony. I do what I am interested in, what I believe in. Thus I try to find unusual motifs, themes, I travel a lot, read a lot, watch a lot.The artists range of interests is wide: historical picture, still life, landscape, illustration. Unusual is his approach to solution of each new canvas, no formulas, nothing typical. Some canvases appeal at once by the consummate craft, fullness of colour and light, and feel. Others require focused attention, contemplation, rational approach.
