Impression 
...  His characters come to us from Byzantine icons, from the walls and arches of Roman temples, from conditional mythological space and then appear in the real world in a completely different context. At the same time, the artist depicts people and the world, choosing borderline situations for this both in form and in content. If we talk about the form, then his paintings are “on the edge” of the icon, murals, plastic experiments, and this form is quite adequate to the content - the transition from eternal to temporary and vice versa. - Galina Balashova .
