"Puppeteer" oil on canvas Painting

I am a professional artist with a degree in fine arts. I graduated from the Moscow Academy of Printing as an illustrator. Currently, I live and work in Serbia with my family. My paintings are in private collections in Italy, the United States, France, Germany, China, Russia, Portugal, England, Australia, and other countries. I create figurative paintings with mandatory plotlines. I accumulate, rethink, and process what happens in reality, and compare it with world history, mythology, religion, and my personal experiences and thoughts. I call what I do "subjective realism" because I supplement reality with my thoughts and feelings. My paintings it is a world, that is interesting to examine. It is even more interesting to decipher the meaning and plot of the image, as I use many symbols, both well-known and invented by me. But every viewer, looking at any of my paintings, can see their own story; in a sense, I take them as co-authors. For me, the most important thing is that I can express my ideas, my thoughts, my attitude to reality and the world through my paintings and, of course, share this with other people.
