...I'm 36 years old. Five years ago, when I lived in Montreal, I happend to start make paintings. I always knew I can do that, but I never had time and opportunity for it.
So I started to work hard, ten hours a day , six days a week. I'm sure - the Art is toil. Of course, I was trained in drawing and painting, composition, etc., at first, four years in private art-school, than, a couple of years with lecturers from Moscow's Stroganov Art Institute.
Paintings are, on the whole, in Canada, USA and Europe.
