Pink peonies flowers in the glass vase Painting

There is a spirit in my paintings. I was born and live in Tyumen, Russia. I have been drawing since childhood. I studied a lot of art history, so I studied with great masters. I am inspired by the changes taking place in art, and how one era replaces another, and their similarities and differences. What I love about painting is when I manage to create my own separate time and space inside the painting. And each of my paintings has its own mood and feeling. I believe through art the spirit of the artist is able to touch the spirit (soul, mind) of the viewer. I paint with oil paints, because I like the feeling of paint, how the paint flows and lays on the canvas, and different layers are created, sometimes unpredictable. It gives many different possibilities.
