Sunlight on the old street. Painting

In my life, painting is both a profession and a way of life, and also a way to look at the world. In painting for me, the main thing is the color, as well as the feeling of space, air, light. The surface of the art work should also be interesting, I prefer bold strokes, with a palette knife and different brushes. I was born in 1980. I received my first art education in Zaporozhye (Ukraine), where I studied at the Professional College, Faculty of Arts. After graduation, I moved to Belarus. From 2001 to 2007, I studied at the Belarusian State Academy of Arts at the Department of Painting. From 2008 to 2011 I passed an internship at Creative Academic Workshops. I participate in exhibitions and creative symposia in Belarus, Germany, Lithuania, Serbia, Armenia. Now I live and work in Minsk. In painting, I prefer the traditional realistic direction. For me it is important, first of all, color, shape, space, air. I also consider it necessary to have feelings and emotions in painting.
