The artist about his work:
“The basis of my work is love for nature, the beauty of women, feminine nature and the peoples of the North. Often, the artistic images are inspired by my favorite music and mesmerizing natural views. And, of course, whole worlds arise in the mind when getting acquainted with the culture and the spiritual world of the northern peoples, when studying the native ancient Slavic faith and mythology of other peoples (especially the Finno-Ugric), while staying among the wild. My heart belongs to the North, with its sharp contrasts of warmth and cold, ice, snow and water, with its fluffy animals and crumpled birds, with its beautiful legends and some kind of "frosty sterility", tranquility."
“I think that the lack of professionalism, mixing of styles and other mistakes that you cannot hide from the gaze of a person versed in art will immediately strike your eyes. So it is - I have no art education. There is only a desire to express your feeling of the world around you and share it with you. But if my works find a response in your soul, it means that I, after all, do not waste paints, ink, watercolor paper and other drawing supplies in vain. Often, artistic images are inspired by my favorite music (as a rule, by albums of Scandinavian, Slavic and Finnish folk groups (especially Veleslava, Värttinja, Hedningarna and Harmarna) and the works of Grieg, Sibelius. And of course, whole worlds arise in the minds when familiarizing with the culture and the spiritual world of the northern peoples, when studying the ancient Slavic pagan faith, while staying in the wilderness."
Many of the artist's works were purchased by individuals and organizations in Russia, Sweden, the USA and Great Britain. Some of the paintings were also acquired by the First Museum of Slavic Mythology in Tomsk, where their permanent exhibition is located.
We invite you to see Nikolai's paintings from the series "Trees in Female Images".
