About me

I have had a pretty long life already. ‎Most of my life has been associated with the development of theoretical and practical problems associated with the creation of modern systems of terrestrial and satellite radio communication systems. ‎The development of communications is of exceptional importance for our civilization, allowing ‎dissemination of various information (scientific, political, cultural, etc., etc.) with great speed, making it available to the widest circle of people living on Earth. This radically accelerates the development of human society. ‎

I am a PhD, Professor, and also a Laureate of the State Prize of Russian Federation which I received for the contribution that I, together with my colleagues, made to the creation of cellular communication networks in Russia. I am also a member of the International Academy of Telecommunications. For a number of years, I headed the Center for Electromagnetic Compatibility at the Radio Research Institute (NIIR), as well as the Department of Radio Communication Systems at the Moscow Technical University of Communications and Informatics (MTUCI). ‎
Despite the fact that my main activity was devoted to solving technical problems, I have always been interested in problems of both a political and humanitarian nature, which have enourmous impact on the development of the entire human society. In particular, I read many history books, I love poetry very much, which allows not only to convey the deepest philosophical ideas, but also to express them in such a way that they penetrate deep into a person’s soul, changing his consciousness and attitude.

I love visiting art museums. The paintings exhibited there are a reflection of the artist’s moods and ideas, which they want to share with others. The language (style) of paintings is very diverse and each style makes it possible to express different thoughts and feelings in a certain way. The portrait, for example,allows one to visually represent the spiritual appearance of a person. The portraits were made both in a realistic style and in an abstract one.
Many artists convey the beauty of the world around us by creating landscapes both in a realistic style and using other styles when making such paintings - impressionism, pointillism, etc. ‎

In art, there are often themes and among them are the themes of SIN, GOOD or EVIL. One such eternal topic is the biblical story of Adam and Eve. It has occupied many artists for more than a thousand years. Hundreds of paintings by such famous artists as Durer, Rubens, Klimt, Munch, Michelangelo, Dali, Picasso, Chagall, Tamara de Lempicka and many others are dedicated to it. ‎

The progress of mankind is connected, in my opinion, with the feeling of beauty inherent in a certain part of humanity and the need to satisfy it. Completely different objects can be classified as beautiful by different people. It can be a scientific idea or an invention, a book that gives rise to a new understanding of the most important life problems, poems with a certain rhyme, expressing thoughts and feelings in an original, close to musical, form.‎

In the visual arts, in addition to the above-mentioned subject (realistic) direction, non-objective (abstract) directions developed in the 20th century, the founders of which were Moreau, Malevich and Kandinsky. The paintings they created were placed on a plane and their objects differed in shape, color and relative position. Kandinsky's paintings evoke special emotions in me. It can be difficult for me to tear my eyes away from them, as it is sometimes difficult to do, looking at the stream of rapidly flowing water. ‎

Perceptions in the field of art are always subjective. To a large extent, this applies to works of art. Apparently, there are no general laws of human perception. The great Picasso once noted this: «Everyone is trying to understand a painting. Why don't they try to understand the birdsong? It is impossible, apparently, to explain why someone likes work of one style, and someone else - of another». Picasso rightly said, «Everything you can imagine is real. ‎To draw, you have to close your eyes and sing. If your song touches someone's soul, people's reaction will follow».

Looking at paintings in museums, I try to feel the mood that prompted the artists to create them; to guess that mood, those thoughts and feelings that they wanted to share with future viewers of their work. If I succeed, then this work remains in my memory. ‎

In my scientific work, I actively use a personal computer. A few years ago I tried using a computer for image processing. To my great surprise, I discovered that, using artificial intelligence programs, in almost every image of the world around us, even in the most primitive one-color image containing only a few multi-colored lines, one can detect a hidden diverse color quasi-three-dimensional (3D) image, that has a very unusual structure. This gives us an opportunity to see the world around us from a completely unexpected side, to “hear” and “feel” it.
Kandinsky in his book «On the Spiritual in Art» compared his paintings with musical works. Discussing how they affect a person's feelings, he spoke of «warm» and «cold» colors, «light» and «heavy» objects in paintings. The works of artists of «abstract» painting reveal to us, in my opinion, the most important elements of the beauty of the images of the world around us affecting our feelings, as well as shape, color and relative position of different objects in their paintings. ‎


On this site, I want to share some of my favorite digital paintings. For me, again in the words of Picasso, «painting is just another way of keeping a diary». Almost every day I come across images that have a «hidden» structure invisible to the eye. This makes me want to reveal it with the help of the technique that I developed when processing them on a computer. ‎This technique also allows one to create new versions of abstract paintings by other famous artists, which, in my opinion, receive a new sound. Some examples of such works are also presented on this site. ‎

Features of Digital Art

Computer technologies provide practically unlimited possibilities for creating various visual works of the most unexpected content. This way of creativity is the most democratic. Digital technology gives us the ability to store our ideas in code and send them to eternity. By creating paintings in the form of digital files, we get the opportunity to reproduce them in endless copies using completely different material media, such as canvas, ceramics, wood panels, etc. This guarantees such works the preservation of the brightness of colors and a long life and allows us to share them with the whole world, removing borders and restrictions. ‎

The process of creating digital paintings has as a creative phase associated with the search for that artistic idea that one wants to express using visual images. For paintings belonging to the category of abstract, this consists in finding the structure of the picture, the location of individual spatial objects, lines, their shapes and colors on it. Such an idea can arise quickly under the influence of a view that has opened up that has made an impression and evoked certain emotions, or a painting by another artist, etc. The creative process, like any other field that requires inspiration and intellectual effort (in science, in poetry, in music), is the most complex and can be painful. Inspiration can come instantly, or it can be elusive for a long time. This condition was most accurately described by the poet Mayakovsky:
Poetry is like extraction of radium.‎
It takes a whole year to extract
one gram of radium.
And to find just one right word
Thousands of tons of word ore
need to be processed.
The creative phase is followed by the technical phase. Your idea should first be turned into a digital image. To do this, it is necessary to use existing computer programs, possibly with further refinement. ‎Then, in order to be able to share the created work with people who might find your work interesting, you should put a digital image on some medium. ‎ Traditionally, artists painted their paintings on canvas. Each artist has his own painting style, which allows the viewer to convey the appropriate impression of his painting.

Of interest is Georges Seurat’s painting style - pointillism, which he invented in the middle of the 19th century. Technically, this method corresponds to the method of forming an optical image from a computer screen, on which an image is created from many pixels - the smallest elements of a two-dimensional digital image in a raster graphics, or physical elements of a matrix of displays that form an image. ‎A pixel is an object characterized by a specific color, brightness, and possibly transparency. This method is based on the physical regularity of the separate perception of colors and their subsequent «optical mixing in the viewer's eye».

The method of creating computer pictures which I use is similar to pointillism, and consists in changing in the display plane the density of pixels in certain areas of the display or lines of a certain shape, as well as their colors. The shape of the arrangement and the color of the pixels can be easily changed, which opens up the possibility of creating different variations of one artistic idea of the picture. This opens up the possibility of creating completely unexpected artistic images that can be classified as abstract painting. At the same time, these images on the plane surface, created with the help of my digital imaging technique, are perceived by the viewer as three-dimensional, which gives them, in the language of Kandinsky, a special “sound” compared to two-dimensional paintings.

A digital file of a picture can be used for its "physical" respresentation on almost any medium. Modern technology makes it possible to print pictures of high quality on canvas and plastic, on wood panels, in particular on plywood, on glass, on metal, ceramics and on a mirror surface. At the same time, the main visual characteristics of a digital picture on a computer display are preserved: its color tint, color saturation, brightness and lightness. ‎

Separately, the size of the picture is practically unlimited. It can be, for example, (15 cm) x (15 cm) - such a picture can be placed, for example, on a table or a small shelf, or (4 m) x (4 m) - such a picture can be placed, for example, on the wall in the living room. ‎In the "Make an Order" section, examples of placing paintings in different interiors will be presented.

How to Make an Order

After selecting one or more paintings from the gallery below, decide on its size and placement. Below are the examplesof the possible placements of paintings in different interiors. They can be, for example, over a table or on a table, on a wall or on a small shelf, in an office, in a living room or in a bedroom. It is advisable to send me a photo of the possible placement of the painting. ‎I can then recommend how this picture can be placed. In the “Paintings in the Living Room” section, the last one shown is a painting made on glass, which is available for free sale. It is placed to compare it with the expressiveness of the first two digital paintings in the same section, which were made by me in a quasi-3D style.

I note that for your particular case of placing a picture, I can probably offer an individualized digital picture for your interior with a theme discussed with you, similar to those given in the gallery in size and color scheme. ‎To do this, you need to select a painting category (A, B, C, D, F, H) that you like and send me a picture where you intend to place a painting, as well it's desired size and color scheme. The drafts will be revised as need to your satisfaction.

Payment

As noted above, the price of a painting is defined as its cost, i.e. the cost of transferring a digital painting on a certain physical medium (canvas, glass, etc.) and the cost of shipping to the customer, as well as a premium for the creative contribution that the author made to its creation. Premium for the creative contribution of the author always significantly exceeds its cost. In my opinion, this component can exceed the prime cost of the painting by at least 5...10 times. ‎

Currently, there is a large selection of companies with modern equipment that allow, using a digital image file, to print it on almost any physical surface (canvas, wood, glass, metal, ceramics, etc.). At the same time, if a digital picture has high resolution, then when it is printed on any surface, high precision in the reproduction of image details, its color shades can be ensured.


Today, printing images on glass has become very common. The popularity of paintings on glass is primarily due to the fact that this ensures aesthetic appeal and realism of the image, as well as accurate reproduction of the details of the picture and the color saturation of the picture. In addition, the quality of a painting on glass, unlike paintings on canvas or wood, practically does not change over time, the colors on it do not fade, it always looks fresh and bright, it is resistant to mechanical damage, scratches, and exposure to moisture.

Reliable delivery of the painting to any address of the customer can be provided by international courier services, such as DHL, UPS, FedEx, GCX, EMS, etc. The price of delivery depends on the dimensions of the parcel and its weight. Data on shipping prices can also be found online. For paintings sized (1x1 m) shipping costs can be up to about $50. Therefore, the total cost of an ordered painting can be up to $200. ‎

When choosing companies that make paintings and deliver them to customers, I take into account the interests of customers in minimizing its cost. The final price of the painting in dollars is agreed with its customer. After agreeing on the price of the painting, the customer pays 50‎%‏‎ of the agreed amount. The final payment is made by VISA, MASTERCARD, American Express credit card to the bank account indicated by me. In the event that the painting is lost or damaged during delivery, I will re-make and send it to the customer free of charge.

My Digital Art Gallery

This section of the site contains about 40 digital paintings, which I have selected from the works I have. The process of searching for the idea of such paintings and working out their different variations gives me great pleasure and is a way for me to express my inner world, my impressions and emotions. Sometimes I create several of these in one week, just because I am called to do so. From time to time I will change the works posted in this gallery. ‎Some of my digital paintings are based on well-known artists and they are placed in a separate section of this site.
