"My works are dedicated to the emotional nature of humans and the nature surrounding us, the scenes of which I paint in oil on canvas. I use approaches and techniques of classical painting, methods of old masters, whose study I have devoted many years to; I also explore modern approaches and strive to harmoniously combine these methods in my works. I enjoy experimenting, combining different, sometimes incompatible techniques, sometimes in a light degree of surrealism, sometimes in terms of decorativeness — it all depends on the task I set for myself and the idea I want to share with the viewer. I love to fill my paintings with positive energy through the combination of colors and the variety of textures, and through this, I try to evoke emotions in the viewer. I believe that painting is not only a language of art but also a language through which one can communicate with a person's inner world, thus helping a person better understand themselves."
