SuThis still life contains my favourite vegetables for a summer salad. And, of course, olive oil.
All that's missing is tomatoes.

But we, in the Urals, have delicious tomatoes appear only in July.
And I wrote still life at the end of April. That's why the tomatoes stayed in my imagination.

But even so, still-life looks very organic. The focus is juicy sweet pepper - paprika. In Russia, it is called Bulgarian pepper. I don't know why. Perhaps because the Soviet Union supplied such pepper was from Bulgaria.

And now, even in our cool climate, such peppers are grown.
I do not know if you like such salad, but the combination of green and red shades in this still life is natural and harmonious.

Still-life is already well dried and ready to send a vegetable lover to any country in the world.
And if you don't like vegetables, then enjoy the game of colour.

The sides of the painting are painted in the colours of the image.

My love of art was formed at an early age. My father amassed a good collection of art cards and albums. From the age of 5 I was introduced to artists such as Degas, Rembrandt, Renoir, Levitan and many others.

My family was convinced that I had an aptitude for the exact sciences (it was in fact true), so I did not develop my artistic inclinations.

After school I entered a technical college. At the institute, as an elective in descriptive geometry we were taught the basics of drawing and composition. These seminars were conducted by a talented Chelyabinsk architect.

These seminars fascinated me, I learned how to convey the volume of simple objects.

I went to the Chelyabinsk Art School at a mature age, on a paid course for adults.

I started oil painting not long ago, when I retired.  I had the time to do something that has fascinated me since I was a child. But I didn't have the opportunity.

Oil painting has opened up new horizons for me. And now I paint occasionally in acrylics and pastels. Pastel is my second favorite medium after oil.

There are many styles in painting, but I have two that I can't choose between. And I do not want to.

I love the nature of our Ural. But the sea and mountains also attract me. Recently I started painting seascapes. But not too realistically, I fantasize a bit.

Before the pandemic, I travelled not only to Russia but also to other countries.  Every impression, every memory, at least in a small piece, is fused into my paintings.

I love Impressionism and Realism. I often don't know which to prefer.  That's why my paintings don't follow one style clearly. Sometimes I start painting in a strictly realistic manner, but then suddenly I have a dab hand in my hand and I forget about realism.

However, most of my landscapes are impressionistic and my still life paintings are realistic. I don't know why this happens.  I think my intuition knows better where to lead me in painting.

In September 2021 my personal exhibition "Mosaic of Impressions" was held in the showroom of Chelyabinsk Regional Court Museum.  

Before that I placed the works on the Russian and foreign Internet resources, including English online gallery ARTFINDER.        

Some of my paintings are in private collections in Russia, the United States, Britain and Israel.
