Dimitry Schidlovsky

"Painting brings me closer to the beauty and the mysteries of nature. My intention is to bathe the viewer with sensations of light and to uplift their spirit. The paintings are reflections of what I observe, feel and desire to share. Skillful reactions, spontaneity, and the passion to tell a story are the key ingredients to my life as a painter."

"My draftmanship is the vital facility that perpetuates the synthesis of my expression. The eternal ever-changing universe of light, form, time, space, and movement are points of departure that are essential to my inspiration. As a result, every line and form has a dynamic and relative purpose that culminates into a personal expression."
