The English and French term odalisque (rarely odalique) comes from the Turkish oda, which means room; thus, the term "odalisque" originally meant a chamber (ed. "for a narrow circle") girl or just an accompanying girl. In the West, this term is used in relation to the concubine in the harem. By the eighteenth century, the term odalisque was eroticized. And in this artistic genre, a conventional oriental woman lies on her side and demonstrates herself to the viewer.
I inspired with the great paintings by Delacroix, Fortuni, Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres

My first word was "brush" instead of "mama", my father is an artist - so i had to become an artist!
Born in 1975 in Novorossiysk (small town on the Black Sea). Art school (1988), then Art university (1997), then i was working as a graphic designer for almost 20 years.
As an emotional person, I need to express feelings in my art - so I chose expressionism. I also love experimenting, it's my way of self-development which results in some unusual technics I use. As true romantic, I always seek beauty, and yes, I am sure - beauty is saving the World!
As a texture fan, every artwork is an invention, i make some new graphic experiments and even I don't know what the result will be. So my artworks cannot be copied and repeated even by myself.
My influencers are: my father and a teacher, Sergey Dergun, Mark Chagal, Franz Marc, Lentulov, Miro, Philipe Starck, Pierre Bonnard
Since 2020 (because of pandemic) i am a full-time artist and illustrator and i love it! In 2020 i've sold 126 artworks to Russia, Germany, Switzerland, USA, Israel.
