About The Artwork

We all have that special "house and garden" in our heart, this is what I fancy, being lost in flowers and shrubs, under a tiled roof I have chosen to depict a palm tree as a symbol of "running out of natural resources". In the world there is a proliferation of the use of palm oil, and for that vast amounts of land have been cut down and palm trees planted destroying orangutan habitats, water sources, Amazon forest has been cut by the farmers for profits from palm oil. Large countries like China and India depend on oceans of palm oil to cook as oil cooking is their main and most of the time only cooking method. This drives further devastation and climate change as the lungs of the planet of all kinds of trees are cut to give way for this water hungry palm. Although I didn't depict the oil palm, all palm trees according to scientists have soil underneath them which is very poor in nutrients due to lack of rotting foliage. No birds nest on palm trees except crows and rats. Palms are a problem for the migrant birds as they cannot really rest in them or nest in them on the way. Proliferation of palm trees leads to decreased soil fertility and decline in bird varieties and populations. They do look fabulous though and we all love palm trees views. What a an illusion of everything being beautiful and well. We live in a fantasy. My painting reflects that fantasy and that all that is left is some shrubs and palm trees in the world.

An Australian artist with interests in philosophy and meditation, arts, music, literature and everything enjoyable and sybaritic. My painting interests are in oil, acrylic, watercolour and ink media, being influenced by Chinese and Japanese painting styles, Indian and Tibetan art and culture, global impressionists, realists and abstract artists. I was born and raised in Russia, and have been living in Australia for the second half of my life. My family are highly-educated teachers, professors, military officers. From the young age appreciate of art. music, literature, ballet have been instilled in me. My father who completed three highest military institutions, a lieutenant-colonel, was creating amazing works of art in many genre - sculpture, paintings, calligraphy, wood carvings, poster design. Whatever he touched turned out great. I like to think that his artistic blood runs through me. As well as my mother, a professor of English, with amazing appreciation of classical music, ballet, art and literature. I am truly blessed to know that her linguistic blood runs through me. I have worked in the corporate world most of my life as an IT support engineer and in sales, and later on as an acupuncturist and a life coach. I derive most of my inspirations currently from nature. I spend time observing nature and taking photographs at different times of the day and seasons. I often do my own flower arrangements for still lifes inspired by the masters of the past. I am preparing the materials for en plein air painting. I also love to study the great masters paintings and love to think about how they created and what kind of techniques they used so I can learn from them.
