An oil lamp Painting

I am a not-quite self-learned Russian artist who loves experimenting with various materials and styles, combining hyper realism with impressionism, classical imagery with unusual colours. In my first foray into arts I used graphic markers, a medium both simple and sophisticated at the same time, allowing both clearly defined lines and sublime gradients. With markers I specialise in hyper realistic botanical-themed illustration, book illustration and graphics. Presently I also utilise oil and acrylic paints. I enjoy the involved, prolonged process of working with oil and see it as a form of meditation, using rich palette to produce a unique look at mundane objects. With acrylics I use the quick, spontaneous and unpredictable “fluid art” technique, capturing the feelings and emotions of the moment with vibrant colours and hypnotic shapes.
