ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The picture Shrovetide, produced at nearly the same time, represents the rave of colour and the pagan joy. But the philosophical aspect of the plot is of main importance. In the moment of burning down the Shrovetide scarecrow, the author finds both the duality of the human soul, and the topic of life and death. The raging of the corporeal during Shrovetide is stopped by burning down the winter scarecrow, the repentance takes place, the transition to the spiritual, Simon says, In fact this is what we all look for in life, it’s the victory of good over evil, of light over darkness.

1979 Born in Moscow. Committed to the Russian realistic school, graduate of the Russian Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture, he aspires for absolute fidelity in reproducing the reality.I am driven by the desire to do this very kind of creative activity, one which would tell the truth about the surrounding world, Simon says, Any reproduction is subjective indeed, but I do hope that my painting is close to nature and harmony. I do what I am interested in, what I believe in. Thus I try to find unusual motifs, themes, I travel a lot, read a lot, watch a lot.The artists range of interests is wide: historical picture, still life, landscape, illustration. Unusual is his approach to solution of each new canvas, no formulas, nothing typical. Some canvases appeal at once by the consummate craft, fullness of colour and light, and feel. Others require focused attention, contemplation, rational approach.
