Creating portraits of children, the artist never drew from life. He allowed the creative imagination to create a unique image of the child on a cloth, filling it with the spiritual and emotional contents and a rich inner world.




A the master supplemented the general atmosphere of the cloths with an abstract and expressional method of the image of background space which magically bewitches and as if the iridescent whirlwind, takes away the viewer to the abyss of feelings and experiences which the artist had at creation of the pictures.













In painting images of children on cloths of artists appeared several centuries ago. Though before some masters of a portrait genre tried to write kids, but these works reminded tiny copies enough adults.
