Original oil painting Dandelions in a vase Painting

I was born in Novocherkassk, the capital of the don Cossacks. I live and work in Rostov-on-Don. I had a love for drawing since childhood, every scrap of paper was occupied with some drawing, relatives received paintings as a gift for all holidays. The main motive of the my work is to reflect the beauty of the surrounding world in all its diverse manifestations. Notice and catch moments of simple happiness on the canvas, whether it is a ray of sun piercing a delicate petal, an unusual crease on a dress, a drop of dew. I am inspired to create by life itself. Roses brought from the garden, exuding a subtle aroma, summer juicy fruits, berries, and just a jar of pickles with bright peppers, standing on the windowsill-all this can become the subject for a new picture, all this I trie to convey as vividly as I feel. I am sure that creativity should first of all bring joy. The picture is a small window into the world that we want to see and that, even if we are not available for some reason now, we can create ourselves. Of all artistic materials, I prefer oil paints. I love its color, smell, texture. My paintings are in private collections in Russia and abroad.
