About The Artwork

This porcelain figurine of a ballerina was presented to my grandmother by her friend, it stood in a cupboard in the most prominent place, although in our family did not like "trinkets". This elegant statuette was the only one aesthetic object in the cupboard that had no utilitarian purpose. Grandmother loved this statuette very much, protected it every possible way and forbade to children touch it. But when I was born, and pulled my little hands of the future genius artist to elegant figurine of a porcelain ballerina, grandma did not hesitate to gave it to me. I mean, I can't remember it, but she told me she let me play it when I was sitting on the couch so I wouldn't drop a fragile thing on the floor. Nevertheless, I did drop it. But the statue is not badly damaged, broke off only the pedestal with pointe shoes. In my hands it has not given, so how could I cut myself on the chipped edge, and the ballerina continued to stand in a cup or in a little vase. Then it was not possible to fix it, but my grandmother still continued to keep the broken part. I always loved this porcelain ballerina, and when I became a painter, and there were all sorts of super-adhesives for all surfaces, I easily put her shoes in place, so you can not even see that there was any damage. And porcelain ballerina again was able to stand proudly surrounded by other family values, and most importantly pose for me in my still-lifes. I've painted it countless times. And of course it had to be present in the paintings of this significant series in my work. The picture was exhibited once at solo exhibition "Fishermans and Sowers” in the Central House of Artists in 2011 Moscow. Эта фарфоровая статуэтка балеринки была подарена бабушке ее подругой, она стояла в серванте на самом видном месте, хотя у нас в семье не любили «безделушки». Эта изящная статуэтка была в серванте единственным эстетическим предметом, не имевшем утилитарного назначения. Бабушка ее очень любила, всячески оберегала и запрещала к ней прикасаться своим детям. Но когда родилась я, и потянула к ней маленькие ручки будущего гениального художника, то бабушка не задумываясь достала ее из-за зеркальной дверки и дала мне. Я, конечно, этого не могу помнить, но она мне рассказывала, что давала мне ее играть, когда я сидела на диване, чтобы я не уронила хрупкую вещь на пол. Тем не менее, я все-таки ее уронила. Но статуэтка не сильно пострадала, откололся только пьедестал с пуантами. Мне в руки ее уже не давали, так как я могла порезаться о сколотые края, а балеринка продолжала стоять в стаканчике или в какой-то маленькой вазочке. Тогда не представлялось возможным ее починить, но бабушка все равно продолжала хранить отбившуюся часть. Балеринка мне всегда безумно нравилась, и когда я уже стала художником, и появились в изобилии всякие супер-клеи для любых поверхностей, то я без труда приделала ей туфельки на место, так что даже не видно, что было повреждение. И она снова смогла гордо стоять в окружении других семейных ценностей, а главное позировать мне в моих многочисленных постановках. Я писала ее неисчисляемое количество раз. И конечно она должна была присутствовать в картинах этой знаменательной в моем творчестве серии. Картина выставлялась один раз на персональной выставке “Ловцы и Сеятели” в Центральном Доме Художника (ЦДХ) в 2011 году.

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
