Lease artwork "Lazy Turtle" by Robert Andersen with an option to purchase

I was born in 1985, in Chisinau. In 1997 I began my way as a painter and I began with abstractionism, as it usually happens nowadays. Since 2001 I have been working with surrealism, in the spirit of Dali and Tanga. By the year 2003 I had wanted to finish the dangerous games of reproducing hallucinations, dreams and wishes on the canvas. In the same period I begin to experiment in the manner of fauvists and impressionists. Fauvism as a way of self-expression turned out to be too simple for me, while the impressionistic apportionment of colors satisfied my technical needs and became the most appropriate manner of painting for me. At the moment I get inspired by the first modern openings of the end of the 19th century and I create my own things in the same manner. While expressing my thoughts on the canvas, I try to connect harmonically the spirit of modernism with that of impressionism. It may be added that my creative education, I mean my studies at the Academy of Art, leans my creation on the experience of the Russian painters of the end of the 19th century. In other words, my impressionism and modern are inseparably linked with the influence of the Russian realism, in particular, Repin and Serov. That is why in a certain way I am quite conservative, however I try to get only the methods from the old art, while the spirit itself, it is clear, I search in the modern world.
As for the inner side of my paintings, I can say that the images that I gather in compositions come in most cases accidentally. The fortuity is a residuary habit from the time of the surrealistic games. My compositions do not carry a definite, for example, philosophic conception. On the contrary I try to isolate my painting of any ideal and philosophical side, inasmuch as the history shows, it hindered the majority of the painters from expressing the beauty itself of their inner world, it hindered from catching the poetry. I consider my painting as a discloser of my internal, spiritual side and as a method of self-knowledge. The next aspect of my work lies in the specific peculiarities of the painting process itself. Like any other decorous painter I want to create something special, this is something one needs to focus his attention on. If you look at the today’s situation in the world of fine arts, on the whole there is nothing new to discover. All the new things that appear are most likely to be mannerism. But for a painter there are always the eternal sources of inspiration, for example, the man, nature. In reflections about the contemporary art I understood one thing that is already known to everyone. The main thing is that a painter does not have to create something original, the thing is that a painter has to breathe life into the painting. Sooner or later the painter realizes that this very thing is his basic desire. To breathe life into the image, to coerce the painting to live its own life, to turn on electricity through the structure of the canvas, to inject a st...
