different composition in each
painting, sometimes I need to make
accent on surroundings, then it will
be zoom-out, or a figure, then it will
be zoom-in. My palette mostly
consists of dark shades with small
amount of bright colors, which is
allow me to make an emotional
background.

I consider these two aspects
complement each other. When I
study photographs, I follow the idea
of a real environment, a specific
place, and when the memory is
oured into the process with the
layers of paint, then I try to use
equally both of them and not to lose
this balance.
I think the role of direct experience
helps me to fully represent the idea
of what I want to show to the viewer
and I have more confidence in my
decisions. Well, I can define this
relationship as a reflection. Nature
has the power to push to thinking
process, to contemplate; and
thoughts, which evoke in the mind,
can be about something familiar to
everyone or it may be distant and
intangible.
I think the role of a viewer is an
important part of my art, as I share
my personal memories, imagined
narratives with the audience. It could
be suggested that it is turn into a
dialogue and painting is a link
