Exhibitions

In November 2024, I had the unique opportunity to work in Paris on the creation of a new portrait. This project took a special place in my artistic journey: far from my familiar environment, in the atmosphere of one of the world’s main art capitals, I was able to fully focus on portrait work.

The process took place in a hotel, where I could completely immerse myself in creativity. The inspiring Parisian atmosphere and interactions with local artists enriched my experience and added a unique character to the finished work. The resulting portrait became another step in my professional growth and attracted interest from the European public.

This Parisian experience became an important chapter in my creative path, and the completed portrait now holds a worthy place in my collection.

From May 17 to June 16, 2024, my solo exhibition "Eye to Eye" was held at the Novgorod Center for Contemporary Art. For me, this was a special opportunity to present to the public my best works, reflecting various stages of my artistic journey and showcasing my unique approach to painting.

I am delighted that so many guests attended the opening: fellow artists, art lovers, media representatives, and people who are simply passionate about painting. I personally presented my works, spoke about the ideas behind them, shared sources of inspiration, offered my vision of art, and answered questions.

The exhibition hall was filled with a wonderful atmosphere of creative dialogue and support. Guests could view my works up close, communicate with me, and take memorable photos. I am proud that this exhibition became a noteworthy event in the cultural life of the city and gave many people the chance to look at painting "eye to eye."

In January 2023, I was fortunate to participate in the International Art Plein Air held in the town of Palic, Serbia. This annual event brings together artists from all over the world, offering a unique opportunity for exchange of experience, collaborative work, and creative interaction.

For several days, the participants worked side by side, creating new artworks inspired by the nature, architecture, and atmosphere of the Serbian town. Informal communication played a special role: exchanging artistic ideas, discussing contemporary trends in art, and participating in various creative workshops.

The plein air concluded with a final exhibition showcasing the works of all participants. For me, it was a valuable experience that not only broadened my professional horizons but also helped me establish new friendships and creative connections on an international level.

В октябре 2023 года у меня состоялась персональная выставка в стенах уютного отеля «Астория». На этот раз формат был совсем иным по сравнению с уже знакомой для публики большой выставкой в Новгородском центре современного искусства: мероприятие проходило в камерной, практически домашней обстановке, и посещение было возможно только по предварительной записи.

Благодаря такому формату я смог уделить больше внимания каждому гостю, подробно рассказать о своих работах, лично поделиться историями их создания, ответить на вопросы, обсудить нюансы живописи и обменяться впечатлениями в тесном кругу единомышленников.

Особая атмосфера, тишина и неспешное общение сделали эту выставку особенно тёплой и запоминающейся как для меня, так и для посетителей. Этот опыт позволил не только по-новому взглянуть на своё творчество, но и получить искренний отклик от каждого зрителя.

From June 17 to July 18, 2021, one of the most significant solo exhibitions of my career took place. This event was not only a chance to showcase my paintings to a wide audience, but also an opportunity to share my inner world—my emotions, observations of life and nature. The exhibition brought together works from different periods, allowing viewers to trace my artistic journey and, perhaps, to sense the special atmosphere I strive to convey through color, light, and texture.

I always aim to express not only the outward appearance but also the inner, psychological state—infusing my paintings with the pulse of life. It is this genuine admiration for all things beautiful, fleeting, and real that I wanted to share with viewers. The exhibition featured historical scenes, landscapes, genre compositions, portraits, and still lifes. A special place was given to portraiture: through emotional immersion in each character, through details, the expression of the eyes and gesture, I sought to reveal the inner world of a person.

The exhibition sparked lively interest among the public—I thoroughly enjoyed engaging with visitors, answering their questions, and discussing the nuances of the academic tradition, sources of inspiration, and technique. For me, the exhibition was not only an artistic report, but also a dialogue with everyone who cares about painting. I am convinced that such meetings enrich both sides and allow us to look more deeply at art—"eye to eye" with the artist.

By regularly participating in exhibitions and festivals, I highly value the opportunity to share my vision and to meet like-minded people among viewers, both in Russia and beyond.

In 2019, I had the opportunity to take part in a vibrant and significant event for the whole creative community—an international exhibition dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the People’s Republic of China. The exhibition was held in Beijing and brought together artists from different countries, making the event truly multifaceted and international.

The showcase included a large-scale painting exhibition where I presented my works alongside those of colleagues from around the world. Beyond the main exhibition, the program was rich and diverse: numerous workshops were held, allowing artists to share professional techniques, innovative methods, and their views on contemporary art. In addition, participants took an active part in conferences devoted to current issues in the development of artistic culture.

For me, the greatest value lay in exchanging experience with masters working in various traditions, as well as in the lively communication that made it possible not only to discover new approaches, but also to strengthen bonds between representatives of different cultures. This experience became an important stage in my professional growth, and the broad cultural program of the exhibition allowed me to dive deeper into the world of international art and gain new friends and like-minded colleagues.

In September 2019, I was fortunate to participate in an international exhibition organized at the renowned Rijksmuseum—the main art and history museum of the Netherlands. The occasion for the exhibition was the anniversary of Rembrandt, one of the greatest artists in world history.

For me, participating in this project was especially meaningful, as the exhibition brought together works by painters from all over the world, inspired by the legacy of the Dutch master. Visitors to the exhibition could not only see diverse interpretations of Rembrandt’s creative heritage, but also experience a contemporary artistic dialogue that emerged within the walls of this legendary museum.

The event featured themed tours, discussions, and lectures, where participants exchanged experiences, spoke about Rembrandt’s influence on their own art, and explored various directions in contemporary painting. For me, it was not only an opportunity to present my work to a wide audience, but also a valuable professional exchange with artists from different countries.

Participating in the exhibition at the Rijksmuseum became one of the brightest and most memorable events in my creative life. It was a unique experience that allowed me to immerse myself in the atmosphere of a great artistic tradition and feel part of a vast international art community.

In October 2016, I had the opportunity to take part in a unique art plein air, which took place in Tacheng, Xinjiang province. This project was organized by the Chinese government and dedicated to the international "One Belt, One Road" initiative. The plein air brought together artists from all over China as well as representatives of the St. Petersburg school of painting.

During the event, we worked together in the picturesque landscapes of Xinjiang, drawing inspiration from the diversity of nature, local culture, and the vivid regional character. The program was rich: not only daily collaborative painting sessions, but also creative meetings, sharing experiences, and discussions of artistic methods and traditions.

The exhibition of works created during the plein air became the culmination of this creative event. For me, this project was a valuable opportunity to get to know new colleagues, expand my professional and cultural horizons, and receive a fresh impulse for further artistic development.

In October 2016, I had the opportunity to join an international art plein air held in the city of Tacheng, Xinjiang Province. The event was organized by the Chinese government and was part of the major international "One Belt, One Road" project. Among the participants were artists from various regions of China, as well as painters from St. Petersburg.

The plein air program was designed to let participants discover the unique natural and cultural heritage of the region. Every day, we painted outdoors, shared professional techniques, interacted, and found inspiration in new landscapes. In this informal setting, we established new friendships, gained valuable experience working together, and exchanged perspectives on painting.

The culmination of the plein air was an exhibition showcasing the works we created on-site. For me, this project was an important opportunity to open new artistic horizons, become acquainted with Chinese artistic traditions, and find kindred spirits among talented colleagues.

In September 2015, I had the opportunity to participate in the International Art Biennale, which took place at the Main National Museum of Penkin. This major event brought together artists from different countries and became a true platform for the exchange of professional experience, ideas, and perspectives on contemporary art.

As part of the biennale, I presented my painting dedicated to Peter the Great. This work is part of my ongoing interest in historical painting, where the central focus is on conveying personality and the spirit of the era through artistic imagery. The event included not only the main exhibition, but also numerous meetings, dialogues, and creative exchanges among artists, allowing me to meet colleagues from around the world.

Participating in the Penkin Biennale became an important milestone in my professional development, expanded my horizons, and provided fresh impetus and inspiration for further work.
