Wet asphalt, blurry glare of city lights, bright umbrellas - romantic understatement, expectation of change, hope for happiness. In this almost ghostly world, the artist connects London, Prague, Dnieper, Vienna, Kyiv, Feodosia. The master’s canvases have an amazing property: they are all imbued with a poetic feeling. Grace of lines, play of light, painstakingly recreated shades of colors... All this seems to transport the viewer to another world where it rains, but in this world there is no place for hopelessness.
