The artist writes: "For the first time, my collection was called "Planet of Fat Men" in 2000 (prompted by Moscow journalist L. Urazova). I continue to work on this series, the favor of themes from life are inexhaustible. The characters themselves, of course, change externally and internally, as it seems to me. I take many themes from my own life: service in the Navy, studies at the music school, and around everything is enough. I work a lot and with pleasure, getting pleasure from the process. During this time I have painted more than 3000 artworks. Since 2006 I started to make dolls, if they can be called so. In order not to get bored of painting pictures, I put aside and cut out figures, sculptures and also with a light grotesque. All my works, I hope, with good irony, and fat people because they are big and kind. My work has naturally spread all over the world, except for Africa, probably everywhere. When you work with galleries, you don't know where the work has gone. My works are in the family collections of many Russian politicians and artists: M. Gorbachov, V. Zhirinovsky, Y. Luzhkov, I. Kobzon, N. Mikhalkov, O. Tabakov, M. Zakharov, I. Oleinikov, Y. Stoyanov, A. Kucherena, M. Lesin, E. Malysheva and others. Since 2013 I cooperated with the Puppet Gallery of I. Myzina "Vakhtanov" in the Central House of Artists, and with the gallery "Space of Dolls" I participate in many projects and exhibitions. Since 2013 I take part in the International Doll Salons on Tishinka from the gallery "Space of Dolls". Together with them, we exhibit in the Moscow Puppet Theater" on Spartakovskaya.
