Mikhey Chikov

Warm greetings to all

I live and work in Moscow. I paint a variety of paintings. I prefer to work with large brushes on large canvases. I respect watercolor, painted with oil paints and gouache, but settled on acrylic. I love the smell of acrylic in the morning! 

In the work that I love, I draw inspiration from the paintings of the masters, from great literature, classical and modern music. Shagal, Kiriko, Matisse, Hopper, Basquiat, Goncharova, their works never cease to impress me. 

I consider myself to be naive primitive artist with a share of symbolism. I always have more themes and plots than materials. 

I depict people and animals, the fundamentally eternal and momentary, the mundane and fabulous, mythological subjects. The mood of the paintings ranges from pathos reaching grotesque forms to humour, sometimes black. 

The main goal of my activity is to give the audience good feelings, to cheer up, to bring light and optimism to the interior. 

All the best to everyone!
