Ukraine 1986.

Since 1986 he joining in his soul metaphysical quest of good and evil, with the opening of the essence of the aesthetic radiance, he creates the canvases in a manner peculiar only to him; this manner is called "in the searching of similar".

Thick expressionistic brush strokes merge with fine masonry oil: thus changing scenery outside the window, day and night, the seasons, adding resolutely different picture understanding of being; this is the essence of things and playing in this same "similarity" (a reference to the essence of the sets of the modern world, which is nearing the sunset of his vanity, approaching to the microapocalypse).

But the microapocalypse is not agony or entropy, not this paranoid world. Smooth fading mouth layers, colors, border crossings at the same time prepares and consolidates peace, tranquility and contemplation of the world – in the depths of canvases we see the open mouth of the old woman's death, as well as seeing and filled with the foetus in the womb. So everything is born and dies.

All cities and places, and all the living and the fact that it took a different world, love and hate, sex and murder – paint canvases groan, honed in their cages with a gag in his mouth. And hopelessness turns into hope only when the midtones constitute a single unit, like a simultaneous big bang matter and the world.
