cold river Painting

I understand what time is, until I don't think about it... I was born a long time ago in 1959 in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. I started to "create" from my childhood. I really remember the smell of the oil paints and solvent in my flat. My mother was copying the works of old masters. May be this thing had a big inflance on my life and made it a lot easier at school, at armee. Just to come and to "raise" my brush anywhere. I really had different jobs, but I really wanted to find something for my soul and something, that is close to the art. Luckely I was exepted to Kiev Art combine and in a few years I got a high level and I got ability for my study. That was my dream. Moreover, when I passed my exams with art drawing painting and composition. In 1985 I entered to Odessa art college by Grekova and I finished a whole course in 1989. I got my diploma of artist-designer. Just from this year I started my creativa work. I noticed that people were interested in my paintings. But we had a hard time in our country. Our country fall appart, even though my first exhibition "Ladder into the sky" had an amazing success in our town. Plenty of people came to this exhibition and reporters had written so much about it. As a result I got orders from National local history museum to make new projects and to arrange exhibitions. First it was "Hunger of 33'd year". And than hystorical ethnographical "Immortal songs of nomad", that was recognised by experts of ethnographic as the best in Europe. I took part in arragments of exhibition related to firefighters of Chernobyl. Short period of time I was a teacher in the studio for kids and adults. I had so hard time, because I could not support my life. That's why i had to go to vernissage and to put my works for sale in Kiev. Than I want to Crimea and there were a lot of tourists from another countries. That's why many of my works "flew" to China, Great Britain, Russia, Germany, USA and other countries. I didn't have orders but wasn't dissapointed and I didn't give up! As a member of union of professional painters I participated: -in town exhibitions, where I took first places, I took so many sertificates and even money prizes from the mayer of the town for active participating of the cultural life in this town and for popularization of art in Ukraine I worked in the area of monumental paintings. I was an organizer of the interior and exterior at the cafe. I have done exclusive furniture for the interiors of cafe.
