What made you start painting artworks?
When I was a child, I watched my father painting many times. I saw myself in my father’s image, and I never doubted that I would someday become an artist. And when I finally got it, I had become an artist. It was very natural.
My father drew quick pencil sketches. Due to the influence of my father, I think my sketching speed is quite fast.
— It’s so wonderful to be able to follow your father’s back. Is your father’s art alive in your paintings?
Yes, I believe. My father drew quick pencil sketches. Due to the influence of my father, I think my sketching speed is quite fast.
How do you get the idea for your art?
Every day, I try to create paintings that praise life, filled with gratitude for every moment, admiration for the beauty of the world, and love for people. I hope that people who see my paintings get the same feeling.
I approach a blank canvas with creativity and strong inspiration, trying to create unique and emotional images created with brushes and a palette knife on canvas, acrylic and oil, also using silver and gold leaf.
— Certainly, your works have a very positive and bright impression. I especially think that the works with cat motifs are awesome because they are full of your love for cats.
Cats are my favorite topic – Before some serious work on a painting, at first I warm myself up by cat’s painting. And sometimes the topic of cats comes to the fore!
I draw several paintings at the same time, and on some of them, I first build up layers with interesting textures and surfaces.
Love, Music, Nature and Women. When I am working on a picture, I select and listen to a beautiful melody and paint a picture with a great feeling of Love.
What’s the most important thing to you for painting?
My motto: Not a day without stains. Not a day without a sketch. Not a day without creativity!
It’s important to draw and express just the way I am. This is my life – I don’t live – if I don’t draw!
