ANIVA LIGHTHOUSE ON CAPE ANIVA, SAKHALIN ISLAND

One of the beautiful places in Russia is Sakhalin Island. A hard-to-reach place, half-wild, but beautiful in its own way - Cape Aniva on Sakhalin Island, which hides an abandoned Aniva lighthouse of the same name. This place is accompanied by frequent fogs and a large number of seagulls. There are many underwater currents and shallows around, unsafe for lost tourists to approach. But nevertheless, this place attracts tourists like a magnet, with its beauty and mystery. I was inspired by a photo of a friend who was there, but I dream of visiting this place!

VIEW OF THE WINTER ALTAI (Ust-Muni)

My artworks of 2020 mainly contain mountain landscapes. The topic of ecology has always excited me and I always wanted to show its beauty and what can be easily lost. Since I am originally from Siberia and Mountain Altai is one of the favorite places for tourism in our region, this, of course, left an imprint on my work. During this time, I actively went winter and summer hiking, and I want to convey the cold but wonderful atmosphere at my work.

FOREST FIRES

ABOUT THIS WORKS

The image of forest fires is one of my favorite topics. I was inspired by the events that took place in Siberia in the summer of 2019. Since I come from those places, they do not leave me indifferent.
The work was created using a palette knife. Volumetric strokes and a variety of shades of incinerating horror you can see in this picture. So I see burning forests.

ARTWORKS ON FOREST FIRES

The Siberian fires in the summer of 2019 inspired me to create this series of paintings consisting of two canvases. A fire burning everything in its path and animals running away from it, in search of a new home. For me, as for a person from Siberia, this event left a huge impression and an indelible mark on my soul. The most important thing for me was to convey the atmosphere, which I am sure you will feel through my paintings.
I would recommend placing the paintings from this series in the interior, in a place with enough light, this will allow a lot of shades of red to open up and the pictures "as if to light up", coming to life in the rays of sunlight.

A WORK ABOUT A PERIOD IN MY LIFE

ABOUT THIS WORK

Every person has a moment when he gives up an old life..old job for the benefit of something more ... something new ... It was my moment imagine on this painting. It all happened during a pandemic. Colleagues gave me this bottle of wine and wished me all the best. The picture shows the moment when I was at home alone, uncorked this bottle, put it on the window and decided to capture this moment so that it would become my new beginning. The beginning of a new life. The beginning of something new and better for me. I know that absolutely everyone has such a moment. Chamomile is a symbol of this new beginning, it is no coincidence that I painted it so clumsy, curved, because through thorns we always make our way to success and something better. A kind of chamomile-chamomile medicinal) everything turned out very symbolically. And, as often happens, with a new uncorked bottle of wine, with a glass of wine, a new story begins, the story of our lifes and the decline of the previous life.

DO YOU LIKE APPLES?

The idea of ​​the diptych about apples is the idea of ​​duality of everything. As a medal has two sides, so there are red sweet apples, yellow sour apples. And this is one side of nature and its fruits. This is a diptych, one part of which can be used separately or together with the second part. This is symbolic, considering the myths. What apple do you think Eve bit into? Red sweet or yellow sour?) And how would the events have changed if she had chosen the other?
