"I am a romantic still believing in wonders and good. I do my best to make my viewers to believe in that. I love indeed to paint Ural and Ukrainian winter landscapes. Every picture of mine is many days hard labour. Any thing presented at the picture must be convincing. I can work several years with a picture, working out all the details thoroughly, preparing many sketches. But every picture shows just a fancy reality. All of them are composed of many pieces of reality like mosaic . It is more interesting for me to imagine then to copy. I create my own world at my canvas. I draw my inspiration in masterpieces of Brullov, Kuingi, Polenov, Savrasov, Shishkin."
