Zero Gravity - 2 / «Невесомость» - 2

A delight to see how finely that fabric is worked and the way in which it frames the main actor "the snail", as if it were a play where everyone waits to applaud. Excellent work on the concept, textures and mastery of drawing and watercolor technique.

Haymaking / Сенокос

An excellent use of watercolor and the human figure. The artist manages to capture the textures in a way that I can almost touch and feel them. The tiredness of the person after a lot of work and a very free background that gives space for the viewer to continue imagining the story without the artist having to tell it all.
Silvia Elena Monge (Costa Rica)
I like the composition and the light. Figure painting is very professional and the colours are mystical.

Introspection / Интроспекция

An excellent watercolor because the artist makes us stand in front of the work and ask ourselves thousands of questions. What does the artist want to tell us? What does the color blue mean? What does that line mean? I could go on and on wondering and observing to try to decipher. This conversation between the viewer and the work makes the watercolor not go unnoticed, once you look at it stays in your mind. This is a great achievement to the artist. Bravo!
