Exhibition of 2013

How to express on a flat canvas fragility of our existence, the illusion and the reality of nature, the joy and the fear, all the ambiguity of our world. For me, painting - is an attempt to reconcile materialism and the mysteries inaccessible to the human mind. A special kind of magic in our life - to see the touching sensuality in the usual things - the movement of the hands, a turn of the head, the shadow spots on the tablecloth... sometimes the peace of God in all its glory manifests itself in the most unexpected moments. And autumn... with its evening mists enveloping fields, rivers, trees - scenes that cannot leave anyone indifferent, and I cannot help myself, I make endless attempts to express this beauty on canvas.
