About me:
For me the most interesting in icon-painting aesthetics is the dynamic plasticity of drawing.
I would never start working with the prepared, predefined concept. It is a line of drawing that is prompting the development of a certain image; one only needs to listen to it, feeling its vivid motion, and subtle plastic nuances.
This notwithstanding, I work within the iconographic canon, though I never know what the outcome will look like.
