Artist's Statement
"An artist of Russian origin, I was born
and grew up in Tashkent, Uzbekistan (Former
Soviet Union) into a family in which both
of my parents were artists. I was greatly
influenced by my father, the renown artist
Anatoly Zhiboedov. I studied painting and
stage design at Republican Art School and
Tashkent Institute of Fine Arts. At that time
puppet theater seemed to be the place where
my creative abilities could be utilized most
fully. My work designing a few puppet shows
was awarded with First Prize on IV Puppet
Shows festival of Central Asia, 1993.
"In 1995 I moved to the United States
with my family. There my artistic path made
another turn. I realized my long time interest
and learned jewelry making. For 6 years I
worked as a jewelry designer in New York City.
This work helped me further develop my sense
of composition and color, patience, and attention
to details. Having recently moved to North
Carolina, I work for Metal & Stone Jewelry
in Charlotte making high-end custom designed
pieces. I enjoy turning my artistic fantasies
and inspirations into unique pendants, rings,
and earrings - pieces of wearable art."
"I have always continued fine art
painting. My main subject is the
landscape. I find great inspiration in the
unembellished simplicity of nature and rural
life. I strive to capture the subtle beauty
of
everyday life, simple, emotional moments of
human interaction within a natural environment.
Among the techniques I use are oil, pastel,
and gouache. Lately, I have been exploring
the medium of watercolor, which I find both
unique and challenging due to its unpredictability."
"Modern technologies such as the
Internet gave me the opportunity to present
my artwork to a wide audience. My paintings
are featured in numerous private collections
in 45 States of America, Australia, Canada,
Japan, New Zealand, and UK."
