Bunny, easter" in a frame (2021) Painting by Sergey Suslov

I was born in a small town in the Kirov region in Russia. Now I live in the Moscow region. Since childhood, I have been good at drawing, but my dream of painting came true only in my mature years. I've been doing this for over 20 years.

I graduated from aviation technical school.  At work, I had to move a lot, and this is what influenced my desire to travel. On every trip, my favorite places were museums, galleries, where the works of great artists made an indelible impression on me. I remembered my favorite works or fragments from pictures, and I was surprised at the skill, the ability to accurately convey the depicted object. I especially liked the detailed and symbolic Dutch still lifes, which influenced me and left their mark on my paintings.

At first, painting was just a hobby. Now, this is my only occupation. I paint with oil paints using a multi-layered technique in the style of realism. I tried different directions, stopped at still lifes and flowers. The artistic composition of still lifes, beautifully composed, easily falls on the canvas. The flower should delight, create a mood, and the fruit asks for a mouthful. I want each of my pictures to evoke a storm of emotions in the soul of the viewer, create a good mood, evoke pleasant memories. My paintings are in private collections in Russia and America.

My exhibitions:

2019 International "World of Creativity" Moscow

2020 International "Great Russia" Moscow 

I have always been fascinated by the beauty of the wild nature of the surrounding world, its diversity in all its manifestations. Being in the forest, in the park, on the river, I rest with my soul and observe. Therefore, my paintings are about nature, flowers, and plants in various states.
Each season has its charm. And the theme of still lifes and flowers changes with the seasons. Accurate and detailed elaboration of each fragment of the painting brings me closer to hyperrealism, allowing me to capture the objects of the image vividly and vividly with the smallest details. In my paintings, I use traditional multi-layered techniques. In my opinion, this is the best way to create the three-dimensionality of the depicted objects and the play of light and shade in inanimate and animate nature.
Each painting is a reflection of my inner state at that moment, which I want to convey to my viewer. Joy, a feeling of delight, the desire to possess a painting that will be passed down from generation to generation, this is a real reward for me.
