There will be 5 of my paintings there amongst many other exhibiting artists.
I am a Russian-born artist based in Scotland and have been drawing people and interactions between them ever since my schooldays. I take my inspiration from eccentricities and peculiarities of life around us, no matter where we live, and that very special Russian chaos, that I so nostalgically and centimentally miss...
I want to provoke a comment, a reaction, an emotion. I want to make you smile.
My subjects and characters are always taken from everyday events. Sometimes they might seem emotionally isolated, keeping themselves to themselves-even when they are clustered in groups-but they are not lacking emotions, they only express them in their own way. Some of them present themseves full of self-importantce, others just go about their business; some might imply something very absurd and not entirely cheerful in their very idea, but things are not always what they seem..they tell us one thing but we see another... In other words, life as we see it but don't always notice. I try to present the subject so it is slightly exaggerated and sentimental, and always filled with emotions. Russians are guided by their emotions, not by common sense, and this has an effect on all my work (whether I am paying myself a compliment here, I am not sure... )
