"MONASTERY IN THE MOUNTAIN" Painting

Рainter. Member of the Union of artists of Russia. Full-time artist. I was born in a small town in the Perm region. From the very childhood, inspired by the beauty of the Ural nature, I felt a craving for drawing, trying to capture on paper my childhood impressions. After graduating from art school and college, I decided to continue my education in the city that I have always dreamed of - in St. Petersburg. Here I had the good fortune to study and defend my diploma at the legendary Institute of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture named after I.E. Repin. My teachers were renowned masters of their craft: D. Kollegova, Y. Kalyuta, M. Mokrov ... The conversations with Eduard Stepanovich Kochergin were specially remembered and formed my artistic outlook. Although I paint portraits a lot and successfully, my favorite genre in my work is landscapes, which I mostly paint from nature. Such landscapes are distinguished by their sincerity, subtlety of color relations, and unexpected composition. I travel a lot and, getting to a new place, I try to remember my feelings and convey them in colors. These impressions can be felt when looking at my work as a kind of travel reports. Not all the places I have visited are captured in the paintings. I intend to continue this series of works my whole life. I want your home to have a place where you will rest with your eyes, feel calm, dream, and make plans. And I hope that my painting will find a place in your collection. My Works already adorn private collections in Russia, England, China, Ukraine, Spain, Belgium, Iran, Turkey, Malta, and Brazil.
