Portrait of White Peonie Print

Probably every artist remembers in details the moment when he decided to give their heart to art. My love for art was discovered when I met the still life of the Dutch master of the 16th century - the incredible painting by Jacob van Hulsdonck "Still life with Lemons, Oranges and Pomegranate". This work of art made a very strong impression on me, so I decided to learn the style of Flamish painting. As soon as possible, I found a teacher who helped me master the technique of the ancient masters. And then the painstaking work on improving my skills began. I made dozens of copies of paintings of the 15th and 16th centuries. And each painted picture was not an ordinary redrawing, it was a study of the master's life, their experiences at the time of painting the work. In this way, I better understood the painting I was redrawing. Mastering this technique, I knew that I would translate it into modern painting. During 10 years of study, I came to create my personal series "Blooming", which I have been working on for three years. History is cyclical. Always in the darkest times there was the development of art, which gave a ray of hope for a bright future. This happened in my work as well. The great grief that engulfed our country became an impetus to create life-affirming and powerful paintings that depict the peak of the flowering of life. In three years, 19 large-format paintings were created, 15 of which already have their owners.When people come to my studio and see the paintings live, they say: "Your paintings are alive, they breathe!". And this is the highest praise! After all, this was the effect that once struck me in the paintings of great masters. And fortunately, I managed to master it and embody it in my painting - Life and Air.
