"Putting on the shoe" Print

Now live new live en en Spain.I was born in a city on the banks of the river Volga and with its slow flow, breadth and smoothness came the love of an accurate and smooth line to me. The architecture around me was not good enough and I wanted to create my own beautiful world. I started drawing since childhood. At art school, I quickly realized that painting would be the main idea of my life, and at the age of 15 I left my parents ' house to enter the Saratov Art College. These were years of study, formation and authorities for me were the painters Serov.V., Vrubel.M. There I have already formulated one of the main rules of life for myself – if you allow yourself to think that something is too difficult, then this fear will settle in you and the difficult will become impossible for you. I always deal with difficult tasks and only it gives the chance to grow. From the province I went to the Capital and entered the Stroganov Academy of Art. It was a very good classical school. There I discovered Egon Schiele and contemporary painter - Lucien Freud. To understand how the human body works, we students went to the morgue of Moscow for a year and looked at the corpses. Looking at the dead people, I realized how fragile and precious life is . I haven’t any idea of the subject of posthumous life, so I wanted to preserve the beauty of life in my works. In my opinion, the human body is the most difficult object for the image. Even the most inexperienced and unprepared viewer immediately notices the slightest mistake. I am not the one who creates new styles and fashionable names. I like the expression of Claude Debussy "I'm trying to find new realities... fools call it impressionism." Simply put, either you manage to create life on canvas or you have a dead body or ugliness. And truth, no beautiful and clever phrases will never already save work. . My work is my personal attempt to fight the fleeing time. When I make a sketch, I catch the moment to freeze on it. The pictures are more complex game. The picture can be painted for a long time and in the end at the same time there are different moments of time – from when I grabbed the first lines of the composition, to the subsequent drawing of shadows and attempts to convey the mood, which is done much later. During the work I can see my model in a different way, I can change the idea and then I see my states and emotions in the finished work at completely different moments of time.
