White Peony Painting

I am a professional graphic designer. Painting and drawing have always been my passion and at a certain point started painting and drawing on an everyday bases. I was born in 1977. As a child I attended drawing lessons taught by an outstanding artist and teacher Vladimir Tkachenko. I took painting and drawing classes while at the University with Kashkurevich Arlen and Igor, and took photography classes at the Belarusian Union of Designers later on. Recently I started exhibiting and selling my works. I like watercolor drawing for its capacity for a detailed graphic study of an image. I like oil on canvas for its long life potential. I choose bright and vivid colors in painting and work with large brushstrokes. I think I can better my paintings eternally that is why I varnish them immediately after I finish painting in order not to introduce any changes later on. I mostly paint flowers and people. I like flowers and have them all over my home. Flowers are changeable as people. I find a great opportunity of experimentation with color and composition in the floral subject. I have a constant demand in change in my life, and color is not an exclusion in this demand. That is why I have dominating colors that vary drastically from painting to painting. My portraits are colorful plastic objects rather than reflection of personalized identities. Being portraits of particular people the images transmit a certain mood and attitude to life.
