Safety Painting

I was born in the south of Siberia, in a mining town. My town is located between two mountain rivers, surrounded by beautiful taiga. Therefore, it has never been difficult to find a wonderful place for a landscape. From early childhood I drew, but I think at 14 years I finally realized that this is my calling. Ten years at the university gave me an excellent foundation, It helped to learn the basic techniques, but then I myself chose the direction of my work. For many years I have been working as a graphic designer, my works won both Russian and international competitions. For several years I did not draw at all, this period of my life helped me understand how much I miss it. The time alone at the easel is one of the most important in my life. My work has been greatly influenced by my profession, I try to combine design and fine art. I would like people to be interested in looking at them, looking for hidden meaning. Now I live in another city, which is probably why I love to paint animals, it brings me back home. My works are in private collections in France, England and Russia.
