Artist's Statement

In my paintings I'm striving for an active creative search of combination of free sensual expression and a reach for holistic structure of the painting, for an art search for new methods of the main idea expression and fresh color schemes also own innovations in a technical aspect of my art ideas implementation. My credo is try to do the best in everything I do, try to find something wonderful and unbelievable in what I see and give live emotions to people.
