Stones occupy a special theme in my art. Their geography is very vast: Crimea, the Caucasus, Italy, Spain, Israel... The process of creating paintings is very labor-intensive. I spend a long time selecting stones by size, color, texture. I carefully lay them out on the surface, most often it is the floor in my studio. Then starts a long process of painting with numerous glazes.
The stone serves as an object of contemplation and reflection. It seems to be losing its material nature. Stone transfers spectaculators from the sphere of everyday life to the sphere of being.
