Sopka (2024) Drawing by Olga Gaygerova

He is a graphic artist who uses pastels, charcoal, and Japanese Sumi-e painting techniques in his works. He works in the style of realism and symbolism, often painting landscapes and animals. The artist chose graphics as an opportunity to work with tactile material, which allows you to create paintings directly with your hands, which puts a certain energy in the work. Graphics is always air in drawings, and without air there is no life. Part of graphic works is the texture of the paper itself, it is important to show it, to take it as an ally in the creative process. As a child, the artist became acquainted with the art of the Pre-Raphaelites and was mesmerized by their paintings, the technique of execution and then incomprehensible symbolism. The artists seemed to the child magicians, who see the world differently and can on the plane to revitalize objects and people. The child set a goal to learn to paint the world around him. There was an art school, learning from private teachers, online courses. Since 2018, the author takes part in exhibitions, is a laureate in international competitions, since 2024 honorary member of the International Academy of Modern Arts, member of the PSHR, SCR, Eurasian Art Union. The author strives in his works to convey the connection between man and nature, how fragile and beautiful it is. Beauty lies in simple things, which we have forgotten to perceive in the flow of information. The viewer should feel nostalgia for nature, should appreciate and admire the happy moments of life.
