Vyacheslav Nikiforov

My paintings are often surreal. I tend to see the unusual in ordinary things and the ordinary in the unusual. My vision was, of course, influenced by a large number of artists such as Goya, da Vinci, Velazquez, Rembrandt, Picasso, Van Gogh and many others. They have inspired me since childhood, which can often be seen in paintings.
Music also inspires me, I love Yes !, King Crimson, Gong, Miles Davis, Medesky, Martin & Wood, Ray Charles, The Beatles, Aquarium, Porcupine Three, Soft Machine, Peter Gabriel. Art rock, Jazz rock, Jazz.
I myself have played saxophone, synthesizer and drums for many years.
I work as a web designer, I study programming. I have a wife and a three-year-old son, he is already showing love for creativity. I think in a couple of years he will post his work on Saatchi) and I'm just sure that he will be better than me.
