The first masterpiece was created about 2 years old my mother's lipstick on the counter under the table (there is not visible, so as not scolded).
Well then of course was the school newspaper, prepare me, pictures of school girls in notebooks or on pieces of paper, but the main thing is a lesson in biology and Zoology, because there were allowed to do drawings, and without exaggeration, my book was the most bright, colorful and neat!
Already in the ninth grade I decided I wanted to draw, and my parents went to the open day at Rhu to them. M. B. Grekova, then the preparatory courses, training with a teacher of painting and composition. And the admission of the College.
And then five years of happy students, hard work and effort, because in art school was not studied. Through perseverance and set myself the goal that by the 4th course I was on the same level with those who came to do after art schools or with good preparation and experience than me. Well, the 5th course I was already an overachiever! Only persistent efforts, will, and the will and there is much more work to achieve.
The practice of plein air field trips, ongoing work in the Studio, all that is necessary for formation!
Five years flew by, was open air and participation in student exhibitions. Then search for topics for diploma and his writing itself. The diploma was written directly to the walls of the school, under the supervision of a teacher. We were allocated shops. As I Cossack myself, love horses and over the thesis for a long time did not have to think. Of course it was a horse and "Cossack traditions," was the title of my thesis. Written picture assembled at the stables of the material, and still life, which in the painting in the foreground was painted from nature and the right lighting in daylight. Wrote a diploma with a soul and a great pleasure, because the subject was a favorite. And the year flew by, protection was great and it's time to think about the future of the profession....
On the advice of the teacher Mamontov, V. I., and parents had a choice in front of St. Petersburg "Repecos" or in front of the Moscow "Surikovka", but Petersburg is far away, and the climate far from his native South and I decided to try to come to Moscow. Fortunately, on the protection of the College diploma was a Commission from the Surikov Institute and defended perfectly with the praise, I was given a letter of recommendation for admission to the UNIVERSITY.
He entered and began a difficult adaptation to a new city and a new team period. New teachers, other school of painting, the heavy workload of practical and lecture jobs, work on larger formats, setting more difficult. In General, a real student living far away from family and native land. For the fourth course became easier, and the fifth and sixth year of study can be called the best College, which is now remembered with great nostalgia and a little sadness. Years interesting, full of experiences, good experiences and outdoor work in various parts of Russia. In the third year the choice fell on the battle-historical-shop, then a new and interesting with its long-standing academic traditions and colorful costumed performances and storylines. They told me at the time shocked. Then began an interesting trip in Pskov, military unit, RO, trips to the stables, group trips to museums, the exhibition in the state Duma and other projects in various creative exhibitions and screenings of historical films, sitting in workshops. Well, thanks to the collected material on military ranges and airfields had my University degree, called "Marines".
And of course a big, sincere thank you for all this experience to my Professor, people's artist Nikolai Nikolaevich Solomin and other teachers of the Institute! All of them I am extremely grateful, they really taught me everything I now know.
