... If people embrace the mind's eye , we see the wonderful world of the Creator -creator , striking in every respect, no matter where our extended oschuscheniya.Udivitelny pours a light bright gold , the" halo blue " , and it seems that the universe is permeated by the light - from large galaxies to the smallest cells of organisms of the Earth .

Stepan , my dear man and a serious thinker . I remember a conversation in his studio in Khimki , and once again convinced of his depth perception of the universe and its Creator.
Happy birthday and the opening of the exhibition!

When one becomes acquainted with the paintings of the artist is very important first impression of the work. If the work is interesting, then immediately stored and the signature, name the one who did.
After seeing the first small studies in Stepan Himochki vystavochenom hudkombinata hall in Khimki, I was struck by their unusual color, vigorous, yet beautiful truth. It would seem that the usual motive, but he suddenly was filled with an attractive force, began to glow and sparkle like a precious painting kamney.Takoy I have not seen! And of course hastened to meet her sozdatelem.Stepan I. invited to the studio, and somehow we quickly found a common yazyk.Ya listened attentively, and the artist showed me the pictures, talking about life, about his videnii.Kak something came to him with sketchbook, I want, I say Himochke, write a statement in your presence. He let govrit write a small piece of land where the sky crosses a piece of window ramy.No write pravdivo.Eto was not as easy as I expected at first. <! - ~ 1 ~ ->. And so it must be treated to everything that you do Ivanovich.Drugoy said Stepan again wrote to the bank with all verno.Himochka kistyami.Vrode have looked, says give me this kist.I it takes a little disheveled brush in his left hand (he is a southpaw), makes a few movements, and this is not just a bank, a precious diamond shone on my kartonke.Himochka usy.Chto smiled like that? I nod in response. Here's how it should be, you're an artist, do not be afraid to embellish where necessary, in the picturesque! Stepan, a man for whom art calling, breathing, zhizn.Chestny, principal (often to the detriment of himself), who does not love false, huge laborers, if not as yet fanatik.A skazhesh.kogda painting above vsego.Dohodilo closest to the misunderstanding people. "Sometimes I feel guilty that I could not do tem.chem provide for his family." Rasskazyvaet.Moi work always found interesting and have taken to the salon, they are sold does not matter, I have no money hvatalo.A vizhu.chto take some abstraction, to make it fifteen minutes vremeni.Stalo me annoyed wrote went something like, well, changed color, then, behold, so is not accused of plagiate.Prihozhu to the salon, where all in wonder, I say now changed the world, secretly writing to the other manere.Vzyali work sold through the day, I still bring again prodalos.Za week sold four raboty.Zhena again, happy, friendly,-Finally-it! And I like a knife to serdtsu.Protivno, I can not mechanically write something that does not feel it! Spat, perestal.Vse went to staromu.Esche I have repeatedly heard from him: "You can not bring myself as an artist, get lost!" "This artist is above all a real man, honest, decent." I also like "When I was younger, but then I was an artist, then wore a beret and a Spanish beard, so now I clearly understand that an artist I did not was. "more literally dnyah.Zashel to it, masteskoy cool (and he's a resident of another home there), also no hot water, the bathroom only to freeze mechtah.Ne Stepan? No, no like, some of the warm clothing ostalos.Ya there when the events in Ossetia were sent there a warm coat, even if some odezhenku.Sam was ill, I thought I no longer useful .. But you see Thank God zhivu.Na easel new job is started. (bottle pictured in the studio, I pritaranil, to avoid confusion <! - ~ 1 ~ ->)
