How I create each of my works of art.

About myself. How I create paintings.

You live, you love, you suffer and you enjoy; you watch, you think, you wish - you hope and you despair. I would like to tell everyone what is important for all of us, what needs to be seen, felt, thought over and understood. It means that it is something significant, important and precious. And now you begin to look for the right images, clear, deep thoughts and technique of performance. It is not easy, it is not always possible and not immediately possible. I create a series of works, because I have been carrying my idea for a long time, I have been thinking all my life, I don’t part with it day or night, I give it my best strength, “I am sick” with its theme and “heal” while creating a pictureI seek at once the truth, and beauty, and "accuracy", and the correct style, and the correct rhythm, and everything so that the image does not distort the vision of my heart ... And, finally, the work is ready. Last viewing with a stern, watchful eye; the last corrections - and the picture comes out to the viewer, unknown, distant, maybe - frivolous, capricious, maybe - hostile and picky ... Leaves ... and is left "alone" with the viewer.
