EASEL PAINTINGS, DRAWINGS

An easel painting approach gives me a great pleasure. After Fedoskino Miniature, the transition to large canvas supports affords the opportunity to stretch myself and look at my work from a different scale. I retain the multilayer painting techniques that are utilized in miniature painting, actually.

Oil on canvas. Heavy horse. 60x80cm.

The genres of my works vary greatly: portraits, landscapes, narratives. And my favourite topic is horses.

In cooperation with interior designers I have been creating paintings for private interiors of flats and houses. Some of them have been represented on pages of "SALON interior" magazine, issues 3/1996 and 2/1998, in particular.
The work incorporating interiors is doubly interesting. Knowing the architecture and the colour scheme of an object, I enjoy a great possibility to fit my painting in a concrete place more deliberately and organically. For example, your family portrait displayed prominently in your lounge.
