Painting is attracting me from an early childhood. First steps in art began with painting on glass, wood and concrete. Next step was started oil painting on canvas. It was a new path and encountering new impressions and emotions. I am glad to introduce people to my art. I mainly specialize in realistic painting, but I like to experiment. Sometimes I am combining styles of realism and impressionism in one picture. I work mostly thin brushes to draw effectively details. Sometimes I use a palette knife and other unexpected devices for texture painting. I think more virtuosic the details on canvas, the more interesting the picture. I get real pleasure from the work process. My heart is open and full of love. This energy flows into the paintings. When I am painting I feel connected to the world and to myself, and painting allows me to process my emotions, discover new things about myself, and grow creatively. I think that all of us connect with certain works because they speak to our experience or temperament, or simply make us feel good. I also believe that once a painting is finished, it already has an owner; the two just have to meet. I hope you find your perfect match here!
