''...As far as my artistic viewpoint is concerned, I believe I am coherent in my desire to carry on the Russian pictorial tradition, which roots go back to ancient Russia, to the spirituality of Icons and, indeed, to Russian Avant-Garde of the beginning of the 20th Century. My desire is to be a national reference point within a multicultural mosaic...
I wish to create an alternative world populated by fantastic objects and by characters which represent the celestial hierarchy: the wise birds of heaven or strangely attuned angels - all this is an outlet for the imagination. Actually there is an answer or more than answer to every riddle. I often write nursery rhymes or poetry on my canvases. In my work I try to bring out the reality of things. My pictures may be understood without reference to positioning.
Colors are like pieces of the rainbow to compose a whole or break up this whole, unleashing a storm of colors and then return to a state calm, silence, harmony.
The picture begins to live out its own life, being energized by me however. I attempt to be a good creator - I paint my characters and nature with loving care. Even Gorgon Medusa should appear, she will be good and kind-hearted in my work.''
