"20/40. Watercolor landscapes. Seasons"

The artist is the one who creates the beautiful.
To reveal to people and hide the artist -
that is what art is striving for.
In essence, Art is a mirror reflecting
one who looks at him, and not life at all.
Oscar Wilde

Born August 26, 1977 / g. Lviv / Ukraine, USSR /

Since 6 years I live in Russia, citizenship of the Russian Federation.

I have been drawing since 5 years, as long as I remember. She developed artistically in pioneer circles, art studios, and at the age of 13, a mentor, an artist-teacher, a master of easel landscape miniatures — Sukhanov Leonid Yakovlevich (student of Yuon) appeared.
In the landscape genre, watercolor began to work from that time.

Higher education: 1994-1999 g. - Moscow Pedagogical State University. Lenin, Faculty of Art and Graphics. Member of the Professional Union of Artists of Russia, Creative Union of Artists of Russia: section Painting and THORN (Creative Union of Russian Germans) Participant in numerous exhibitions of the Union of Artists, exhibitions held in Moscow, Moscow Region and abroad. I live and work in Moscow (graphic designer and artist in the field of printing).

The anniversary exhibition dedicated to 40 years of life and 20 years of watercolor and not only creativity, a special passion and love for all that is beautiful in the surrounding nature, flora and fauna, I want to summarize a small but significant result of this exhibition. The name of the exhibition: The Seasons - not by accident, exactly 20 years ago, in 1997, I began training with many independent plein airs in many parks and forest parks in Moscow for the thesis of 1999: “Transfer of the state in the landscape genre of watercolor painting. Seasons". The jury finally presented 10 large watercolors, which then went to the foundation of the University.

Working on the paintings, I recall what I saw that affected and remained in my memory, convey the feelings, mood, beauty of nature under different conditions at any time of the year. Nature is the source of my inspiration, always evokes only the most positive emotions. The watercolor technique provides an unlimited opportunity to convey everything light and trembling: the airiness of the clouds, the delicate delicate bends of the branches, the mirror reflection of the water surface, helps to depict the world: full of light and sadness of a snowy winter, the complex mood of an awakening spring, the cheerfulness of a warm summer and full of deep experiences of autumn. Landscapes carry the joy and delight that I experienced myself, admiring nature - its defenselessness and, at the same time, greatness. I write what I know and love, what fills my life with meaning.

Nature is an inexhaustible source of inspiration in my work! Art must save the world! (paraphrasing Dostoevsky: Beauty can save the world).

I also believe that art is the most unifying link of absolutely everyone living on our planet. From childhood, his language is understandable to everyone, especially if the child is instilled with good taste and basic knowledge, for example, art history. Each artist has his own viewer and fan. Without a viewer, there would be no paintings and exhibitions and we would be sad. But it is important not to follow the public’s lead, but to express precisely your views, moods, positive emotions, the more sincere creativity, the more it resonates in the hearts of the people around us! And their happy eyes inspire us for further growth, movement, the main thing is not to stop no matter what. To be born as an artist means to leave their life as an artist.

The exhibition presents paintings written not only in Russia, but also beyond its borders, of different seasons and conditions of nature, in several watercolor styles (wet watercolor, ala prima, glaze) - flowers, wildlife, landscapes: urban, marine, river, mountain.
