Our world is filled with moments, various emotions, moods, and vibes of different people. Nowadays, we tend to take pictures in order to remember all that. The digital photos imply realism – you see the world as it is. But beauty is only skin deep. You are not able to see the metaphysics of the moment looking at the pictures.
In my watercolor paintings, I always give a sense of the current state of human souls, models’ doubts, anxieties, joy, and sorrow, what actually hides behind the smiles. In classic portraits, you can see the eyes of people. I set a more challenging goal as follows: not showing models’ eyes and faces, to depict the immediate emotional state, the current state of the model’s soul through the pose, chemistry between the photographer and the model.
Also, I draw cats. They are my favorite animals. They are warm and cozy, and have elegant, tender, and fluffy bodies.
I paint everywhere: at home, in the open air, in buses, in trains, in planes, in theaters, museums, and coffeeshops.
More than 200 artworks are in private collections in the USA, UK, EU-countries, Australia, etc.
