"Seaside" is my concept. I did it without any brief, according only on my own feelings and inspiration. This work painted by gouache on paper. When I worked on ‘Seaside’, I wanted to concentrate on color combinations, not on forms. Mixing colors, searching of new combinations – one of my favorite part of work. I always use PANTONE Color Guides for inspiration, to choose colors that will work better together and enhance each other. The main aim of this abstract painting – to bring positive emotions to views, delivering them pleasure from watching. I do think that emotions play a significant role in my work. I just wanted yo create something positive, that will remind us about sea:)

Nature, of course. I was really impressed by photos of sea creatures, that I found on Behance. I just wanted to depict them in my style. I looked at hundreds photos of seashells and jellyfishes before start. It helped me a lot in this project.

It’s hard to say. I try to work in different styles. The way of work usually depends from task. I can’t concentrate only on decorative illustrations or minimalistic modern design. I like to find out different solutions, use new techniques and improve my way of work . My inspiration is mostly nature and a lot of different artists. Each day I find something impressive on design blogs or creative sites, it helps me to get new ideas.
