He regulary attended summer residence for creative art "Akademicheskaya" where he became acquainted with many of the leading artists of the country. In 1975 he was accepted into the USSR Union of Artists. His main creative expression was through landscape painting and to a lesser degree, still life and portraits. Artist about the Art All my artwork is autobiographical. To express my vision of the world is the way I put feeling into my art. I am always in touch with nature: every object retains a mystical feel. Nature causes me to meditate over its color language, this personifies every painting I produce. If somebody gets a special feeling of something personal in my paintings, I'm satisfied. I think that art itself cannot be explained clearly. Something soulful must remain besides logical understanding of the artistic process. Art is something I feel in my soul. I prefer to create my artworks directly from nature to emphasize intimacy in what I create. V.Belikov |
