Artist statement
In my work I use the watercolor technique, because this material makes possible to create airy and unique works due to the spreading water base. I try to reflect the versatility of the world around me, working in different ways from landscape to portrait, but a special place in my work is reserved for our smaller brothers (animalism). As an artist, I set myself the task of creating comfort in the room by bringing my creativity, giving positive emotions and encouraging the viewer to contemplate beauty. Engineering thinking and attention to detail contribute to achieving realism and harmony in my arts.
Currently, I am engaged in artistic decoration and painting as center-forming elements for the interior of specific rooms and buildings, as well as creating portraits to order and constantly improving my watercolor painting skills by learning new drawing techniques.
