Classical school of painting is like classy attire. It survives fashion and compliments style. Yet a masterpiece, whatever genre, always conveys the spirit of its time. So this gives unique value to artwork created in our days. Impressionism is an attitude similar to elegance: letting essence outshine details, an artist prolongs this fleeting value of the moment.

Powerful like a business suit, cozy like a wool pullover, sensual like silk… So can be art, and likewise paintings can be tailored - to an interior, as well as to the customer’s ideal self and significant others.

• So that your office advertises and inspires you.
• So that your home protects, nurtures and revives you.
• So that your environment imbues harmony and accord.

What is contemporary art’s offer to exhibitions, businesses, private collections and interior design? Typically, a run-off-the-mill pattern, a projection of some mood, or elaboration of some trouble, – the “crazier”, the more “advanced”, “creative” and ”energetic”. Yes, the flurries of a strange soul are interesting to experience. But probably not so useful to incorporate into your own life.

Painting that celebrates reality as it is requires deep sense of beauty, knowledge of the laws of harmony, and almost meditative concentration on the subject. Thus artworks that we promote can “change your world”, too, just in a more wholesome way than agitating some raw spots in a psyche.

Prolific work, Russian spirit, Ukrainian cordiality, Eastern wisdom and an eye on the West form their distinctive styles, recognized by experts, disciples, and beholders.

There is also room for amateurs and avant-guarde, fit for the market.

• You can buy any painting as displayed here, or its remake according to your wishes.
• You can order dimensions, stylization and palette, and co-invent the plot of the picture.
• You can acquire rights to produce art prints.
• To reinforce the artwork’s appeal to your particular life goals and aspirations, we can use guidelines of color therapy, associative psychology, semiotics, feng shui, astrology etc., from your sources or by our outsources.

Home is the interface of influence between a human and the world. Environment – feelings – subconscience – body regulation – well-being – disposition – reason – actions – environment… This influence can always be made more efficient and pleasant.

Expedition to Tibet

Climbing unapproachable mountain tops and passes, immersing in mountain rivers, conversing with Buddhist monks from ancient monasteries and with common people, Artem absorbed the energy of holy places visited by Nicholas Roerich himself, discovered new old truths that make life never the same, then made hundreds of sketches and studies.

The most impressive works created on this basis were selected by the Roerich Society for the Roerich Museum, as the payback and the goal of arranging the expedition.

In 2000, a collection of 47 works dedicated to Tibet, that the artist has submitted for a foreign exhibition, was “lost” by the unscrupulous dealer. Some of the paintings have resurfaced in Prague art salons, that Artem found on a voyage. Salon owners immediately offered him work contracts with residence. Since 2003, Artem regularly has his paintings bought out by Czech dealers, and spends some time in Prague painting the city scenes for local galleries.

2007. Oil & acrylic on canvas, 110×70 cm = 43.31×27.56″.

Interesting facts: the featured temple, though its location and architecture belong to India, is dedicated to Jesus Christ.

Painting sold from exhibition, to a US citizen visiting Ukraine.

“I was instantly enchanted with peace and enlightenment it inspires. Owning it brings still more surprises. The light in the scene changes in accord with time and weather in reality, and eludes the camera. When you meditate on it, the leaves appear gold and soaring above the water. This work seems to ward off bad dreams, though the surge of creativity that follows the meditation can well reduce sleep.”
