Artist’s life is a story in pictures.
I paint throughout my life. Art school in Minsk, Belarus - I’m from there. Art College, Belarusian State Academy of Arts. It’s good way for an introvert to communicate with the world.

I’m a story-teller. While I paint a picture, I manage to come up with a whole life for the heroes, get to know their friends and relatives, laugh at their good stories, sympathise with their bitter experiences.
I don’t like to tell these stories somebody else, but I'm always curious about what people tell, what they see and feel.
This is amazing communication, the most fun, closest and most intimate.
I think good pictures work exactly like that. Like good books, good music, good wine.
They connect a person with himself.
They make our lives plentiful.
They could be the first step towards a leisurely warm conversation between man and the universe
