Sailing into the sunset (2023) Painting by Boris Deriy (Border)

 Years ago, I studied drawing (pen, charcoal, sepia), painting (pastels, watercolor, oil), still life painting, plein air painting, the art of portrait painting at the School of Art in the city of Tomsk in Russia. During those years, I also received my MS in Applied Electronics and PhD in Biophysics. My scientific research brought me to the US in 1992, and since that time I worked in Chicago as a scientist. Although my day work had been very demanding and was taking most of my time for years, I finally returned to painting full time about 15 years ago.

Of all the techniques I have tried before l I prefer oil on canvas because it gives me unlimited opportunities to express myself. My credo is to use imagination and practice artistic approach in everything I do. Picturing of human mindset in social relations attracts me the most.
