Autobiographical notes

The world is beautiful, but he was killed on the seriousness of human sin. Each of us can at least suspend its precipitous fall into the abyss of awareness of their own sinfulness and repentance. But to live in God, hard and continuously, we then leave our Father, then come back to him like the prodigal son.
. Our ambivalence - the divine and low, masculine and feminine, the eternal and the momentary - to start thinking about questions of human existence to become a heavy burden of internal control
. I do not think his religious paintings. When possible, try not to depict Christ. But several times ventured to do so, because he could not otherwise express his thought, the very fabric of the work required his presence.
I'm not a mystical artist, simply take the usual for me and understood all the characters that would say what I live (in me) in the hope that it will be someone close.
In a creative context, I am anti-hero. On the self-portrait, I crushed his vices as opposed to the well-known story of St.. Sebastian in his glory.
But I cherish the hope for their own enlightenment, to return to the spiritual origins of us all. And if the brilliant product of "Black box" for me - a symbol of the 20 th century with all its calamities, the symbol of rebirth - The image of the Virgin.
Despite some external, I think, declarative my tracks, I paint. Here she prevails. Color not only on the plane, in breadth, but also in depth. This glaze, transparent, color nuances. From the colors, lines, spaces where image. It's my job, my life, my cross.
Moscow, 1998
