What about art? Probably I'm not an artist - just a musician without a voice. And what I'm using for singing - paint and canvas. It's pretty much like singing. Sing a song when you want, when it's singing itself, when your voice is just following the inner melody. That's an Art what I call it. . . .
About an inspiration. Art is very personal thing. Artwork, being inspired of something, could touch or induce a personal response in someone, and who knows will it be related to the source inspiration.

When you ask me what style or the direction my paintings belong to, it doesn't make much sense for me. It's a matter of packing and selling and what is the label for these goods. I like such words as Realism, Surrealism, Abstract, Inspiration and so on. But these are only words and I'm not good to describe my artwork somehow. That's why you'll see some interesting texts besides my works - I used some fragments of the texts of my lovely authors(see list) to illustrate my paintings and drawings. |

My work centers on things which are usually invisible, but play a role not less important than visual shapes and forms do, and while most would consider my creation is anything except realistic, I find that it is realism; as it is in its true, original meaning - to present an existence. Anything drawn becomes a symbol. Symbols begin to create their own patterns and textures, developing into the painting. Vibrant colors begin to shine through the application of many thin layers of transparent paint.
