About The Artwork

It's good to indulge in vanity over a glass of vodka....Vanity. "Vanity is my favorite of all sins," said al Pacino's character in devil's Advocate. Vanity (Greek: κενοδοξία) - the desire to look good in the eyes of others, the need to confirm one's superiority, is sometimes accompanied by a desire to hear flattery from other people. A phrase from Jerome K. Jerome's "on vanity and vanity" is immediately recalled: "Vanity is the true force that drives the chariot of humanity, and nothing but flattery greases the running wheels." The Orthodox Church classifies "vanity" and "pride" as mortal sins...The painting was done in oil on plywood in 2009.

I was born in Moscow on 28 May 1974,began study paiting in 1981,graduated art school in Moscow 1991,studied in private art Studio 1991-1993.I began to paint as much as I can remember from 4 years of age ,since the late 80's I have been the author of more than 500 paintings,200 collages,100 sculptures and many drawings.Throughout his career ,the artist tried to draw everything that came to hand: emulsion paints, technical oil paints ,a variety of varnishes,acrylic paints ,gouache,watercolor,paint on metal,painted with tinting pastes mixed with water,crushed bricks, bitumen and of course the classic oil paints.I tried to experiment in all the styles of painting from realism to avant-garde.Experimenting, with different styles ,came to the conclusion that most gravitate to surrealism,and Russian Avant-garde of the early 20th years,very much in the mood to make collages,a bit still do sculpture.
