New Style: "Romantic Expressionism".Departure from the Soviet Union in 1972 has given me the freedom to paint not in obligatory style of so called Socialist Realism, but in any style I choose to. It has been a powerful push for search and creativity. Through all my works you will find that my attitude toward color and light combines tradition of impressionism with various surrealistic situations.Working on illustrations for Kafkas novels, I were looking for a symbolic image of a mystical town. I have found it in Gaud'is Sagrada Familia. Almost on each of my paintings you can see my signature flying phantasmagoric towers, which have become for me a living entity, procreating itself, connecting The Past with The Future.
