About The Artwork

I was planning to paint my self portrait for my first solo exhibition. What is a slolo exhibition without a self-portrait? Moreover, judging by my observations, the most famous of the extant artists left their self-portraits. For public and art critics to imagine personality of the author, to see his look is much more important than it may seem. So, I planned to paint a self portrait in the most suitable place for this purpose in front of a large mirror in the hallway. But the Muse decided otherwise. When I was preparing those green chrysanthemums for still life, I kept them for some time in cold water in the bathroom, so remain its fresh last longer, and when I carried them back to the studio, suddenly I saw myself from the side. This is how people after clinical death tell about experienced. I have had not time to be frightened, as I realized that it was mirror at my mom opened wardrobe so that I could see myself for a side. Of course, I knew that wardrobe opensd quite often, but this time my mom opened it more full than usual at ninety degrees, so I could see myself in a turn with peripheral vision. All, not even over talented, artists are so developed peripheral vision that "they have eyes are on the back of the head". I immediately thought that such a self-portrait has never seen and immediately began to paint it. In August next year, the picture was exhibited, as I planned, at my solo exhibition “Rain on the other side of the river” in the Central House of Artists (CHA) and included the eponymous my catalog. Then once again exhibited there at my solo exhibition “Properties of Memory-2” from July 24 to August 12, 2012.

I was born in Moscow on December 11, 1987. In every new piece of my art works there are more questions than answers; all of its are multilateral, it is exciting to look into them again and again finding hidden details, implicit accents, thinking of motives of the plot’s concept. In a series of paintings I decided to highlight still lifes paintings. Still life is always harmony. Because, in composing still life or bouquet, artist doing himself, as a rule, from the beginning to the end. Still life usually consists of items which are painter's property. As philologists have at home a library, sportsmen have sports equipment, and artists have a still-life fund. Usually, things get into it for a reason: they are specially bought, collected by acquaintances and passed from generation to generation in the family. All things in the painter's «Still-life Foundation» have a history. Along with the objects artist must also to depict the air. The viewer must be able to tell, without detective, it was hot in art workstudio or cold, what time of day, a fresh morning or a languorous evening. I never repeat my art-works and do not make copies. I speak Russian, English, Italian, French
