Tangerine tree Painting

«Painting is akin to a looking glass. When I fall through, I can't remember what my name is, can't distinguish time or space. I am the way I was created initially, - with no name, no judgments and no vanity. Painting is a territory of complete freedom, to the extend it is possible for a homo sapiens.» «We are constantly accelerating and, as we run by, we miss all the grandeur of details that surround us. While in these details reside the souls of things. The beauty of the world is staggering and, contrary to the overall acceleration (which I personally like myself), I leisurely examine the thing, that had stopped me stunned.» «Painting is a very simple craft: an ability and desire to be surprised, grand love for the portrayed object, whether it is a pine grove or a Black Square it doesn't matter, and... a slight ability to paint». Born in Moscow on the 10th of March 1960 Parents: Dmitryi Begak and Irina Levitina – Bolshoi Theater Ballet Dancers.
