I was about 8 years old  when my parents clearly distinguished my artistic talent  sent me to the Art School to let my talent grow hopefully to the eminent level. However none of their expectations was to come true. As I graduated from the school after 5 years of vain effort spent for perception of Art my logical part was obviously dominating my emotional one that caused a very little progress in my study over those years, yet my artistic being seemed to be attractive to me no more than any other peculiar  profession. So I felt no doubt in making my further education choice  - science and nothing else it was.  That's how I found myself on the university program at Mathematics and Mechanics Department in Saint-Petersburg.

I had been kept painting rather accidentally (more in the gloomy colours as a due reflection of Piter's weather; by analogy to Picasso's Rose-Blue periods mine could be justly named as Grey one - thanks to the prevailing Grey colour) until I eventually realised that it was the only one way for my sufficient self-expression. 

Thus my study at the university revealed my remaining affinity for painting. At the same time my vigorous imagination was about to burst from complaining about lack of technique for proper reproducing all its iridescent plays..

Casually, one of my classmates happened to have somewhat similar (to mine) affinity for painting and the problem of private art study was solved for us without any delay.  

We both started attending  private painting classes which were given by the most remarkable and   kindest Professor from Muhinskoe utchilitsche (famous art college named after Muhina), Department of Painting, - Elena Dmitrievna. That study lasting about 1.5-2 years brought me to the apparently new sense of colours and sense of composition. My advancing inquisition with number of artists such as Chagalle, Picasso, Van Gogh,  Munch and many others caused influence on my works.   

From the quite early age I've been feeling special affinity for expressionism, even though the meaning of it was remaining rather ambiguous for me.  My experience shed  some light on this subject.  As surrealism, expressionism i e

All my works are done in the style that i would personally define as an 'Abstract Expressionism' or 'Comprehensive Surrealism'. I like to paint the things of beauty around me, structuring them in the way of my inner world's reflection and detailing them until my mind can rest on it ..

My turbulent nature anxious for new impressions led me to explore Europe by travelling through for somewhat more than 2 years.  Now I am residing in Frankfurt, Germany.

I hope you will enjoy this small sampling of my work, as much as I enjoy sharing it with you.
Thank you.
