"Wood sprite" (24x24''), ("Childhood" series)

What’s the fairytale view! Fantasy is dancing around in the flickering air, the trees are whispering stories, and the wind is playing very gently with the red hair of the little girl on the back of gorgeous white Kai…
All my people and portrait series are short stories, day-to-day, usual things, which we see but usually just continue with our routine chores.
Just stop and see the MAGIC in those moments…

I am Canadian painter and sculptor, work with acrylics and oils on canvases, also create plaster on wood reliefs, or three-dimensional paintings, as I call them. I am truly passionate about the amazing beauty of nature, processing it through my eyes, my mind and my hands to the stillness of canvases and plaster, aspire to express not the picture, but the life itself, without forgetting the fabulousness of human presence in it. On canvases I work with brushes, palette knifes and finger touch when needed. My 3D paintings consist of the plaster figures, sculptured and carved on the base of the wood frame, finally covered with acrylic colors, creating spatial view, as real, as color - induced.
