Latvia
I live in a cozy little Latvia, on the coast of the Baltic Sea. I am:
- artist of the Professional Union of Artists of Russia,
- included in the Unified Register of Professional Artists of the Russian Empire, the USSR and the Russian Diaspora.
Once I visited the holy elder Nikolai Guryanov (he lived on the island of Zalita in Lake Pskov). The elder blessed me for creativity. Since then, for 25 years now, I have been creating icons, portraits and paintings. My works are in different temples and houses, as well as in different countries.
I like to spiritualize the space so that it helps to think about God and creates a favorable atmosphere in the house.
I paint in oil, acrylic, gouache, pastel.
Studied:
- art school
- in the icon-painting workshop of Archimandrite Zinon,
- in a private studio
- in the Christian Academy - sacred art.
Since November 2022, my works have been posted on the Internet, in online galleries, participated in exhibitions, my paintings have received recognition.
Creativity captivates and connects me with God.
Creativity, like prayer, connects me with God.
May art bring blessing and light.
