Leeds castle interiors
Thursday, June 9th, 2011I am starting with the new series of interior paintings today. It was very easy to imagine myself living in here (who wouldn’t) mote around the house, beautiful grounds, and a wall-to-wall library. This is what today’s painting is about.

On the bus to the East End
Friday, May 20th, 2011This image really grabbed me, the blue dotted dress, the red curls and bright lipstick. On the way to a 50′s party I am sure, although I often enjoy the sight of many people here in East London dress impeccably well in the period style. My friend has been talking me into going to the proper 5o’s dance party for ages. But the idea of getting the right dress, hair and all seemed like too much of an effort. This image proves that it is all well worth it.

Lviv balloons, the series
Monday, May 16th, 2011Today’s painting is of my good friend and model Yulia on the steps of the Ethnographic Museum in Lviv, Ukraine. The good people of the Ukrainian Association of Historical & Cultural Landmarks et al. have put up colorful balloons on all the registered historical landmarks around the city of Lviv. The action meant to bring public’s attention to the poor state of the old beautiful buildings and raise awareness about the need of their intelligent renovation. The bright colors of the balloons on the background of the drab buildings caught my eye and made me want to paint them.

Coziness and light in the interior
Monday, January 17th, 2011I am thinking a bit what drives me to keep painting the Dennis Severs’ House (I yet have not gotten to all of the rooms in it) and can’t exactly pin it down. It must be the allure of a soft warm bed, the coziness, pot of tea on the card table, a hint of a fireplace present in the room. It’s my way to beat the winter blues.

Small to big
Saturday, January 15th, 2011Here is a large rendition of the Dennis Severs’ House, Unmade bed, as compared to the initial small painting. A friend of mine had a laugh when looking at it the other day, commented: “It looks like an upmarket Tracey Emin’s bed to me”.

DSH, 1685
Wednesday, January 12th, 2011I am back to the cozy interiors of the Dennis Severs House. I think I really fancy an idea of a fireplace in my house… No contributions to Etsy today, most likely all my DSH paintings are going to come together in an exhibit sometime very soon.
