"The avocado" Painting

I am a full-time artist, my professional interests are oil painting on canvas, but I am also interested in experimenting with acrylics and mixed media. I am inspired by both Impressionists and Modernists, as well as paintings by the old Flemish and Dutch masters. Having started painting and drawing as an adult, I took a course at an Art School, then studied at the art workshops of professional artists, and later studied and graduated as an art therapist at the Drahomanov Pedagogical University (Kyiv) and at the Institute of Psychology of Creativity (Moscow). Overall, I have studied Art for 10 years. From 2017 to 2019, I was the Chairman of the Commonwealth of Russian-speaking Artists in Bulgaria, which united artists from Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Lithuania and Belarus. During this time we have held 12 collective exhibitions in different cities of Bulgaria.
