I live and paint in Vitebsk (Belarus), where Chagall and Malevich lived and worked. My creative path began at the age of 29, when i came to the studio of the famous artist and art theorist Maley Alexander. He introduced me to the basics of painting, since then painting has become the main activity, without which i can no longer imagine my life.
A woman is the most complex and incomprehensible creature on the planet. No one knows what she wants, but she does not know it herself. Therefore, in my paintings you will mainly see a woman. I have always been attracted by difficulties, I prefer complex riddles, and you can solve a woman endlessly. I adore them, I admire them, I am looking for a way and artistic means to display them on a plane. My author’s technique, which I called washed stone, is a combination of a rough stone surface and a gentle female image on it, symbolizing the fact that a woman with her beauty and weakness is able to tame any force, as well as change the course of history. I am inspired by the works of the expressionists and my work is moving further and further from realism towards expressionism.
