Arriving in the capital, the amateur painter found many wonderful stories and suffered a bustling world of Moscow and its environs in his paintings. In this work an unusually vivid impressionist: every story as if passed through the solar sieve and was given a new meaning. Preserving the naturalistic, talent of the master gives the fairy-tale paintings. Why is this happening? Obviously, an artist in love with the place that says, and every movement of his models are deeply inscribed in context of the plot. In other matters, he himself admits it …

For example, a picture of "Walking along the shore," executed in cold blue tones, but breathes the freshness of the south: there is a warm sun, playing in the red hair girl. Easy to dress, cautious movements, elegant greyhound – as if this couple went for a walk in the ephemeral world. That warmth and sophistication wafted from the track set up with an extraordinary love, and in quiet harmony. The painting depicts a small figure with an umbrella: the girl with a toy in his hand, not being afraid to get wet, the rain comes with the usual childhood playfulness and interest. Cloth breathes like moisture, serving abroad and exciting in these feelings and viewer. The picture is registered by large strokes, three-dimensional layers of paint create a sense of aliveness is happening. Rain, but, nevertheless, we see the purity and brilliance of the wet gloss of asphalt pavement filled with water – only a shadow in front of houses obscuring the latest "washed" and the street light tension a little pedestrian.
