Skills

I paint directly from nature while utilizing my own personal vision and manner of communication, which allows creating a unique product. As an artist, I am in a life-long search for methods of visualization of reality, of the new ways of application and mixing of different techniques. Sometimes the end result leaves the person wonder of how the particular artwork was done - this is what is interesting for me and my viewers. I enjoy experimenting on the basis of strong classical art ground.

Nowadays, when making a breakthrough in contemporary art is becoming more and more complicated, the advantage of obtaining strong academic ground is always helpful in all the ways of transmitting the information.
