Since 2003, as part of the association of young artists of St. Petersburg, Markov has already participated in city and foreign exhibitions. More than 20 years professionally engaged in painting, came to a recognizable copyright style. Forming his own style, the artist was inspired by such painters as I. E. Repin, I. And Shishkin, Vasnetsov brothers, V. D. Polenov.

The name of the exposition very accurately reflects its idea. Firstly, the author’s exhibition includes a series of artworks from different years. That is, this is also the personal formation of the creator, who makes a familiar and individual transition for everyone - from the past to the present.

Secondly, the exposition is visually very diverse: dense, fabulous forests and picturesque landscapes, as if spied along a long road, at the sight of which it is impossible not to stop and freeze for a moment, admiring the rare beauty of the play of light and colorful reflexes. Masterfully written plots of Russian mythology, ethnic characters of various time periods studied by the author, mark a common collective memory, constantly filled with new experience and wisdom.
