"Broad and expressive, reminiscent of impressionistic brushwork, rich color, full of light and vibrating shadows, simple, clear compositions that are assumed to be the favorite artist of the genre of landscape and still life - all about southern painting not only for its stylistic belonging to the so-called "Crimean impressionism", but in spirit. The Crimean landscapes and picturesque streets of the southern towns, full of bliss South a hot day and cosy corners of the garden with gazebos and artistic-natural still life on garden tables, flowers and fruit in vases and endless "Breakfast" in filtering through the leaves of the morning sunlight... it's All what we dream of as the ideal of peace and tranquility, a happy carefree life somewhere away from the noise of urban civilization, in a small southern village, certainly on the beach. There are no people, but we know that this is the human world, even very human, because he's too perfect not to be a figment of the imagination of the artist, which he generously shares with us...
Love (and feel, not think) painting!"
