Karibou

I was born, grew up and work in Saint Petersburg. Oil painter, in the recent years based in Germany and France. My most recent series of works are abstract works which could be described as Modern Abstract painting. My main areas of interest are Urban environments, People, portraits and figures. I attended graphics classes for free naturalistic drawing at Cassel Academy of Arts for several years, class by Peter Paulus. Besides I inspired myself by colour pictures and I am a passionate self taught painter.

My work is characterized by an impressionistic and expressive style and pastel-like colors, bringing new worlds to life on canvas.

I try to combine graphics and paintings in my works. Most of my paintings are very expressive and colourful, embrace aesthetics of Eastern and Western European art and sometimes humour and a soft touch of meditation.
