I love drawing birds. I always admire the texture of feathers and the variability of forms. But fighting roosters are my special passion. They contain some special, a little crazy energy and charisma. I don't approve of the bloody slaughters that people have with these birds. But I can't help but admire their combat guise. We all have our off days. [...]
I love drawing birds. I always admire the texture of feathers and the variability of forms. But fighting roosters are my special passion. They contain some special, a little crazy energy and charisma.
I don't approve of the bloody slaughters that people have with these birds. But I can't help but admire their combat guise.

We all have our off days. I respect my failures and failings, because they help me improve. But what I'm really sorry about is the paper.

And I have strong reasons for this:
- Cotton cultivation causes soil degradation and erosion as well as loss of forest area and other habitat.
- Cotton production is responsible for the emission of 220 million tons of CO2 annually.
- It takes 10,000 liters of water to produce 1 kilo of cotton, meaning it takes about 1,276 liters to make 1 Full Imperial size watercolor paper sheet.

Even the most responsible production of watercolor paper is harmful to the environment.

So I try to be very economical with the watercolor paper.
I make postcards on the little pieces of paper that I left behind when I cut the roll for my paintings and recycle the smallest pieces. And when a painting on a dense paper fails, I just flip the sheet and paint on the other side. So some of my paintings on the backside contain images that I found unsuccessful. I enclose a picture of the artwork back in this case.

I grew up in a small industrial town surrounded by steppes and forests. As a child, I saw this strange neighborhood of mining and concentration complexes and amazing natural landscapes . Back then I was wondering what is the place of the human person in this world, why do we not live in harmony with nature? Then I needed simple answers to difficult questions. 

As an artist, in my work I explore the issues of the environment, biodiversity and the peaceful coexistence of humans with nature.

My main medium and passion is watercolor. Watercolor has its own character, which must be respected. It's not a tool, it's a partner.

Now I'm also painting with Chinese ink in Xieyi style. Experimenting with the combination of Chinese painting and watercolor techniques in one artwork gives me interesting results and helps to develop.

It is important for me to show my paintings to the audience, so I regularly participate in exhibitions and artists competitions.
