Ⅶ. Nude. A study in the style of the old masters. The figure is still alive, she’s still trying to swim up from the bottom.

Preparatory sketch, made for the main painting - The River of the Dead. To avoid the photo effect in the painting, I collected material from live models. I could not allow such a large painting, which I painted for 3 years, to have a hint of a copied photo. Thus, a whole series of sketches with drowning souls was born. This is a large study of anatomy, complex angles and built-in soft light, a study that laid the foundation for my style for the years to come. This is a study of mythology, which changed all the themes of compositions and graduation works at the Academy of Arts for the next few years. This study, which is very dear to the Museum of the Academy of Arts and presents the main painting The River of the Dead in the largest national museums of many countries. In the last photo in the gallery you can see a fragment of The River of the Dead with a similar figure from this sketch. This canvas is a small price to pay for the opportunity to have a great story.

"I explore the nature of the unconscious and strive to create new myths that reflect the modern world. My paintings are a dialogue between darkness and light, beauty and pain, the personal and the universal. I believe humanity is in a constant search for answers about its own nature, and art serves as a guide to these depths.  

My images are not illustrations of past myths but autonomous archetypes born from my inner world. They are dramatic, filled with passion and conflict, and address eternal themes: fear, loss, despair. Through the plastic beauty of the human body, I seek to convey an inner radiance that always emerges from darkness.  

In my work, I avoid social contexts, choosing instead to speak a language that transcends time. This allows the viewer to focus on eternal questions that remain relevant regardless of the era. For me, art is not about text or experimentation for the sake of experimentation; it is a deeply personal statement capable of speaking for itself."
