Artist Statement
"What is fascinating in the painting process is the process itself: from preparing the tools
to cleaning the palette at the end of the session. Nothing compares to the excitement of
the first hour in front of an easel: you are so carried away by the motive (or model) that
you hardly even look at your canvas".—Yuriy Ushakov
Playful in technique, Yuriy's work pulsates with life. Strong passages of paint are applied
to the canvas with exceptionally gestural brushwork invoking the unexpectedness of
Nicolai Fechin and even connecting with the AbEx tradition.
This unique original work comes with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist.
