Fire in a cave in the Altai mountains at night Print

Very important to me in live to do what I love. I paint pictures which I see at the nature. I prefer to paint a heaven. Usually I make a foto then paint from photo my artwork. I have no art education, I am self-taught. I studied in the paintings of those classics artists whose work I like and are close to my taste. These are landscapes by Shishkin, Aivazovsky, Levitan, Polenov. I am inspired by nature and all its manifestations. I prefer to paint a heaven. Every time I rejoice like a child when I managed to convey the atmosphere, the beauty of the sky, the lighting and the details that make the picture look like a photograph. I paint landscapes, in detail and realistically, so that the viewer, looking at my picture, feels himself in this place or remembers pleasant memories of a similar place from his life. Basically, I like to paint landscapes sunny, positive and juicy. Often I paint with oil on canvas with a stretcher, less often I use watercolors & acrylic.
