Where did my love for flowers come from?

Now I know exactly the answer - from my childhood! In the summer I was sent to my grandmother's country house, and I was left to myself for a long time. At first, the loneliness was unbearable. All day long I wandered around the yard from corner to corner. The yard was tiny and most of it was occupied by a flowerbed. My grandmother's flowers grew wildly and were taller than I was. I remember parting the bushes and looking inside.

A whole World opened up for me there. World of flowers. I started making dolls out of them that looked like fairy princesses. By the end of the day, I had a whole collection of princesses and the flower ball was starting. And the next day everything dried up. But new flowers bloomed and new Queens appeared. And again and again I plunged into the fairy tale.
And now, as an artist, I often use flowers as metaphors.

"Become white" is the picture based on the Andersen’s fairy tale “The Ugly Duckling”.
The painting was created using materials that have the most tactile sensations –pastels and velvets. The black velvet background absorbs light and creates an extra deepness of space. And the texture of velvet, combined with pastels, approaches the texture of living colors, creating an effect of hyperreality. And making them almost tangible.


"Become white", velvet cardboard, pastel, 80x80 cm.
High-quality artistic materials were used for creating the picture: Schmincke and Sennelier pastels, velvet cardboard Italy.

All works are decorated in a wooden Italian baguette and carefully packed for transportation.
After receiving the work, it is necessary to protect it with glass. To preserve the perception, we recommend using museum anti-reflective glass. Use FrameTek (econospace or framespace) products or similar. This will leave an air layer - so that the surface of the picture does not touch the glass.
Proper design will keep the colors clean and bright for hundreds of years

The painting is titled and signed on the back and also comes with a certificate of authenticity.

I mainly draw in the style of hyperrealism which for the most part determined my choice of materials and techniques: my works are made in pencil or with colored pastels. Black and white graphics and soft pastels on velvet paper let me work with details on a very deep level, convey nuance of meanings through tilt of lines and plains, complex play of light and shade on a canvas.

The pencil allows me to achieve photographic, hyperrealistic accuracy in depicting objects. It makes it possible to picture reality beyond itself, articulate feelings there are no words for, go beyond the time and space. This way shifts of dimensions and focuses can be made very subtle, hardly meeting the eye. Notions, feelings, composition are where it the drawing really starts. The plot of the picture is a very complicated puzzle: objects, textures, light sources, states of nature – all this pieces do not readily cooperate with each other. After some time, however, they gradually form into fascinating rhythm for me, into clear structure which existence in reality cannot be doubted. Every work in this technique is thousands strokes made with purpose. As a result, I create black and white drawing resembling large scale photo. Beauty and harmony in it are the starting point where the immersion into deeper emotional level and going beyond the reality looking for new meanings begins.

To balance out the monochrome which takes important place in my art I recourse to rich color of dry pastel on velvet paper. Pastel and velvet are the mediums possessing maximum tactility which allows enhance the realism of depicted objects and textures, makes them tangible. Creating the plots for my works I draw inspiration from Dutch masters. I especially attracted to their compositions, flowers and fabrics. I like to give them modern look. I prefer to work with black velvet using it as a background. Volume of space I construct only with light and shade on the objects. The texture of velvet actively absorbs light and creates additional deepness to the picture and its combination with rich pigments of pastels makes drawing literally glow from the inside.
