Still life Painting

I was born in Saratov, Russia. I’ve been drawing since before I can even remember. In elementary school, my art teacher noticed my skill and invited me to an arts studio. After High school, I knew I want to pursue drawing and for the next four years of my life I studied in an art academy. When I graduated from the Saratov Art Academy. A.P. Bogolyubova in 2009 , I began working as a stained glass painter. Later I changed the course of my art career and began commercial photography which I did for 6 years. Still , I knew that my true passion was painting and after much thought I moved to St. Petersburg to get inspired by the timeless beauty of this regal city. There I continued my education of painting and drawing while found a multitude of small jobs on the side and occasionally doing custom paintings, or just painting for my pleasure. From January 2021, I’ve been exclusively painting. I like to paint unusual Stillives in oil, such as the transparency of the glass, the liquid in the jars and the light, that gives beautiful reflections. I like to show the simplicity of the objects, that I paint without unnecessary details in all my works, even in the portraits
