Looking at the smiling eyes, the lively turn of the girl's head in Vermeer's painting, it is hard to believe that the painting was made 355 years ago - it looks so modern.
This is not a formal portrait of a person sitting in front of the artist, but a "tronie" (a Danish term for a human character, a type of personality). All this inspired me to give a tribute to Vermeer.
Making copies of old masters' paintings helps to better understand their technique. It is impossible to learn just by looking at their paintings. When you do it yourself, a deeper understanding of how the master did it comes, and you learn faster. I used transparent colors in this painting, same way the old masters did. I have learned a lot using this technique that I had not used before. Making copies of great paintings in visual arts is same as reciting masterpieces in music. We are not all Chopins and Bachs, but musicians have been reciting their works for grateful listeners for centuries, and there are as many variations as there are performers.
The year of 2020 was marked by a COVID pandemic that affected the whole world, has changed our lives, our habits. We had to give up close communication, big family meetings, friendly hugs ... Our smiles are hidden behind masks, and therefore it seems that people have forgotten how to smile. But there is hope in the girl's gaze to you. After all, even a half-face mask cannot hide true beauty!

Years ago, I studied drawing (pen, charcoal, sepia), painting (pastels, watercolor, oil), still life painting, plein air painting, the art of portrait painting at the School of Art in the city of Tomsk in Russia. During those years, I also received my MS in Applied Electronics and PhD in Biophysics. My scientific research brought me to the US in 1992, and since that time I worked in Chicago as a scientist. Although my day work had been very demanding and was taking most of my time for years, I finally returned to painting full time about 15 years ago.
Of all the techniques I have tried before l I prefer oil on canvas because it gives me unlimited opportunities to express myself. My credo is to use imagination and practice artistic approach in everything I do. Picturing of human mindset in social relations attracts me the most.
