ON THE BALL Print

I am a professional artist and dedicate all my time to painting. My technique is oil, I prefer it for density, richness and tangibility. Texture and form are two dominant concerns in my figurative paintings.As an artist, I try to bring personalized emotional experience and mystify the viewer, involving him into contemplation game; I like to stay detached and observe, and I feel excitement when others are involved and excited, sometimes revealing things I have not ever thought of.In my artwork I constantly experiment with texture, assigning it a very special role. I like to freely endow my characters with unusual, not inherent textures. I like to play around tangling roles, emphasizing equal values, unity and interplay of all reality elements.When I paint I feel like a spectator of world transformations, watching it flow back and forth from conscious to unconscious. I have been always fascinated with this subtle flow, glow and sliding. I never think about the picture, but always contemplate and play around a life situation in my mind that does not have any relation to me and to what I am working on at the moment. Art can be a matter for philosophy or rhetoric, but I think its impossible to explain it, so I give my spectator a full freedom of associations, leaving him peacefully unaware, although he does not seem to be satisfied with it at most of the times
