Then I went to India. Upon returning from the trip, my paintings became saturated with color again. I began to apply the precision of forms, as in academic painting, and at the same time the method of graphic sketches with markers, as I did in my sketchbooks during the trip.
Each of my paintings carries a certain message, thought, symbol. You can often find the philosophy of yoga in my work - this is something that is close to me. I also like to write everyday life, that is, what surrounds me: my home, pets, relatives and friends.
Now my paintings are expressions of my inner world. I like to depict the spiritual cultures of Russia and India.
I have one mantra before any trip: "Don't forget to put a sketchbook and markers in your backpack."
