Woman Holding a Balance (J. Vermeer Interpretation) Painting

Painter, graduated in the Russian State Repin Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg. My personal research in creativity is in contemplation the limits of artistic practices in culture. It is an attempt to find a way of expression that would make artistic action be free. I am interested in the physical and mental borderline states of people, moments of transformation in society and in living and inanimate nature, as well as the properties of natural surfaces and boundaries of environments that produce illusion and distortion in the human mind. My paintings is always associated with movement. I try to work in such a way as to be fully exist in creative process with my mind, soul and body. I try to move away from personal content in my work in order to gain a fresh look, I look at the works of the great artists of the past to find new approaches, I observe interactions and transformations in nature in order to find true spontaneity. I strive to make the skills and techniques completed enough to go into the background and open the field for real experiment. Since 1995 paintings have been exhibited in Russia, Europe and the USA, including personal exhibitions. The artworks are in corporate collections of Benetton Group, Honeywell, Deutsche Bank, Wesso Link, Frankfurt brewery "Licher", in private collections in the USA, Germany, France, Russia, Italy, Finland, Greece, Belgium and other countries.
