RED POPPY Painting

Childhood and youth did not allow to look beyond the boundaries of the Soviet Union.And inside there was a bad life.The degree of this contamination was not visible from isolated space.School discipline kept a dead grip on me, stopping any freedom of thought and action. Man was considered a problem since birth In society and in the state.Slow dying was guaranteed.My vision of the surrounding space was born with me in 1973.Did not study anywhere except school, she liked drawing models of dresses, dreaming of becoming a fashion designer. Later I became fascinated by painting, an icon. A careful approach allowed to study the real art from the ancient masters - Andrei Rublev and Theophanes the Greek. Opened the in itself perfectionism. I understood that wealth is simplicity.The best is enough for me, the rest is excess. Image icons store a higher order of simplicity, the same perfectionism. Studying sacral art, I learned to abstract, detach the main thing at from the background. I learned to generalize the depicted object, shortening it to a symbol. I synthesized my instrument of artistic expression. Called him graphic symbolism. It allows you to quickly formulate a concentrated idea without distraction on the part. At the time of technical transfer of ideas to the canvas the acuteness of the task does not have time to escape from memory the very essence, in my opinion, is not lost. I recently left Ukraine and just starting my new creative search. They are symbols of an epoch I have experienced and negative impressions.All this is exhalation. The inspiration of a new era lies ahead.
