Thank
you
for the
attention to these paintings.
Their
publication will probably supplement the rank of
abstract painting that has firmly established
itself as a separate direction in the fine arts.

Creative Development:
I started
with water colors. First brush strokes seemed magical.
When I tried the oils, it even increased my wish to
create a new world. The final aim was to get the feeling
that the picture is breathing and sparkling. And gets
the life of its own.
In abstract
art I found something that makes the air around pictures
speak and it became for me the paradox means of
expression. To my opinion, abstraction doesn`t deny
realism but, on the contrary, feeds it. Adds freshness,
freedom and weightlessness to colors and images.
Abstraction (like architecture) is visible music.
Gradually I
was getting more and more interested in painting with
hands rather than brushes. In order to get a direct
ethereal contact with the picture through the fingers.
And as a result to feel the painting expanding the space
and filling it with ozone!

Some images
don`t
have any forms at all. For example, one of the paintings
is of dark-violet-pink color. But the thoughts with
which I was “stroking” that canvas helped to create the
same feeling as that one can get from some icons –
silence and a tremulant half-smile.
In the early
90-s I wrote an abstract essay “Much higher than the
velocity of shadow”. Each page has its rhythm and sound.
.. Each page is a painting. Rush changing of images and
scenes creates movement, flight in different directions.
The book is full of beautiful images that I have been
painting. Some phrases from the book give names to what
is already created: “Blood-Sea-Sky-Circulation”,
“Through Water, Air and Bright Colors”, “The Balance of
Morning Stars and Blossomed Trees”.

The very
names
of paintings
is energy that you get filled with while looking at the
created image. And then the picture asks: “What have you
understood in me?” It`s not an outer appearance, it`s
resonance with qualities that are reflected in names…
“Against the Current”, “Thin Fingers of Absurdity”,
“Elixir for the Heart”, “Tender Touches”.
In my
abstract art there is a connection of plants`
harmonic forms and geometrical figures that creates a
direct feeling of images. “To make invisible visible”
directly.
It is always
nice to share the feelings with somebody who approaches
life without rules and conditions. There is only one
rule – penetrating radiation of ourselves – cool shadows
of life.
I am giving
my flowering abstract art over to your unique perception.
And wish you fresh and truly abstract love.
