Member of the Russian Artists’ Union.
Since High Renaissance the notion of a creative artist has changed greatly and nowadays an artist is more often compared to a fanatic, fighting for his aesthetic and ethic ideals. Long and meticulous work in a certain technique, style after all makes him deaf, and often only external circumstances and openness to the new let the author realize finiteness of his art’s results.
Individual’s narrow thinking and perception turn out to be unbreakable walls, which keep one from absorbing the diversity of the modern world. Today a human needs such creative development, which will let the personality hide in the background, let it go between the external visible world and the world of invisible ties and relations.
