“I paint with watercolor. 

Probably it is the main thing or maybe it’s not, but I think the presence of water is quite important item in most of my works. I paint clouds or fog, frosty mist of winter or summer day’s haze, sea waves or foam on the shore. I like to look at the water. But however, not less than a pleasure, this quiet contemplation for me is the effort to seize a moment to consider and to remember some things.  Those things that never cease to amaze me: the golden edges of the clouds, the blue color in a break in the clouds, the color of the sky in a frosty morning or the strange pattern of shadows in the street at night. 

And one more thing that never ceases to amaze me and gives me the inspiration to work – the numbers of variants which watercolor technique can provide when I attempt to portray these things.
