Q2. Where do you get your inspiration?
inspiration is everywhere. The Line of a drawing, a chance meeting or a happy memory. Guess one can say it's people and their feelings and thoughts. Our life is full of feelings and they are in colour, like an artists palette.
Q3. Did you have any training?
Hamstead School of Arts (2018-2019) London.
Moscow State Stroganov Academy of Industrial and Applied Arts (1997-1999) Moscow.
Q4. How would you describe your Art?
Art is the representation of the soul of the Artist. I like the quote from Mark Chagall "If I create from the Heart nearly everything works, if from the head almost nothing".
I don't do preliminary sketches. I often start with a simple line that progresses into fantasy.The picture builds itself like a mosaic puzzle, based on the feelings I see in colours and lines that remind me of melodies.
Q5. What Artists Inspire you?
I wouldn't say inspire, as that implies they influence my art. I prefer to create the way I see or rather feel it. I do love Gustav Klimt, Paul Gauguin, artists of Belle Epoque, Art Deco as well as 50's 60's period though I'm not trying to replicate any of them intentionally.
Q6. What does Sentiment mean to you?
It's a connection. 1000 pieces connected by a golden thread, like feelings and events of ones life that give it a meaning. Each individual piece is an art it's self. Together they create a new greater meaning of unity.
