A deeply respecting traditions and interested in contemporary art painter. Born in 1982. Currently living and working in France. The Byzantine tradition of painting which I studied deeply for several years, had a huge impact on my art. Keeping quite a realistic manner I work mostly with the styles of symbolism and a bit of surrealism. Sometimes I use some technology of sacral Byzantium painting in my works. It gives deepness to my ideas and stresses the sense for symbols. Nowadays the main topics for my art are splendor of femininity in the subtleties and the luxury privilege to being yourself despite the sex, ethnicity or sexual preferences. Since childhood the biggest values for me were harmony and beauty. I remember myself always playing the piano, drawing or admiring nice details of nature. For example - a rainbow effect of gasoline in a dirty puddle seemed so amazing :). In my first School of Fine Arts I studied classical paintings and drawings as well as taking the first steps in abstract art. One of my favorite exercises was suprematism composition. Later I worked many years in the field of marketing communications, but I could not stop the endless search for beauty and art. I admired Gothic and Renaissance. Looking for the origins I got into the School of Byzantium art where I found an eternal source of pure inspiration. Later I deepened my education in this topic at the faculty of conservation and restoration of tempera paintings. I had a great practice in museums with antique icons. The monuments of world culture are an endless source of my inspiration. In my work I adhere to the idea of preserving and developing traditions. I deeply respect the entire path of development that art has gone through over many centuries and appreciate the accumulated experience. I like to play with contrasts. Therefore, every time I use old techniques, I dilute them with modern stories and mixed techniques that connect tradition and modernity and help me solve my tasks.
