Hailing from the former Soviet Union, I embarked on my artistic path in my youth, enrolling in art schools to refine my craft. Concurrently, I delved into Germanistics at the Linguistic University, culminating in the attainment of my degree.
My perspective and artistic approaches have been molded by a rich tapestry of life experiences spanning Ukraine, Germany, Israel, and Canada. These varied encounters now serve as the wellspring for my distinctive and thought-provoking artworks, aiming to both challenge and evoke inspiration.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Being self-taught, my artistic journey has been fueled by a profound love for art and an enduring fascination with blending colors. My creations revolve around themes encompassing history, contemporary life, and the intricate spectrum of human emotions and sentiments that serve as my muse.
My aspiration is to transport the viewer's mind to uncharted territories. To accomplish this, I employ diverse abstract styles, techniques, rich textures, and work across both canvas and wooden panels.
Numerous of my artworks feature intricate, labyrinthine formations of lines, crafted over extensive periods. Many observers liken these detailed lines to the delicacy of lace. Personally, I don't see myself as merely drawing but rather as a "knitter," intertwining lines to fashion my distinct pieces.
I aim for my art to kindle the imagination and encourage a fresh perspective on experiencing the world.

Augustus the Strong became renowned for his prowess as both a valiant figure and a patron of the arts, exquisite architecture, and elegant interiors. His romantic escapades were not only the subject of court gossip but also topics of discussion among international political circles. His amorous pursuits extended far beyond the borders of picturesque Saxony, likely outnumbering his financial resources. During the intense competition for the Polish crown, Augustus engaged various alchemists and adventurers in the quest for financial support, even entertaining the notion of transmuting mercury into gold. Tasked with finding the elusive formula for gold, the alchemist Bötger, faced with the king's ultimatum, ultimately invented porcelain, which transformed into a lucrative industry for the kingdom. Meißen emerged as the epicentre of porcelain production, renowned globally for its exquisite tableware and home décor items.
Inspired by the beauty of Meißen's blue porcelain, the enchanting landscapes of Saxon Switzerland and Bötger's efforts I tried to capture the essence of nature and history through intricate textures and a palette infused with natural dyes and a hint of gold, symbolising the genesis of his remarkable journey.

The portrayal in my latest artwork, "DaDa 2023," rejects societal logic, reason, and aesthetic norms. It embraces expressive nonsense, irrationality, and serves as my protest against societal conventions. This piece encapsulates my abstract vision of the era, utilizing colors and moods under the influence of this movement. Each intricate line within this labyrinth was meticulously hand-drawn, with each line symbolizing days of dedicated work.

"Augustus the Strong gained fame as a hero as well as a lover of art, beautiful architecture, and chic interiors. In addition, his numerous love affairs were whispered about not only in the court lobbies but also discussed in international political circles. Yes, yes! His appetites for love spread far beyond picturesque Saxony. He, in most likelihood, had more mistresses than money. In search of funds, especially during the period of heightened rivalry for the Polish crown, Augustus the Strong involved numerous alchemists and adventurers who promised to obtain gold from mercury. " Your Highness! My name is Bötger!“ “I know who you are, and I know what you do! Any nonsense like the elixir of life or youth! " “Yes, Your Highness! I think I'm close to my goal! " “Nonsense! I have a task of national importance for you. I need the formula for gold. You will receive premises, equipment, food, and water. You cannot leave the laboratory until you bring me the first gold bar. " "Your Highness! But ...?" “Bötger, do you want to live? Then don't waste your time! " Not a day or two has passed, months, maybe years. Everyone who helped the alchemist in his work lost all hope and was in despair. But, finally, Bötger asked for an audience with the king. “Yes, alchemist! How will you please me and save your life? " " Your Highness! I do not have a formula for gold, but I have invented something that will bring it to you. A lot, a lot of gold!" Bötger spoke of the invention of porcelain, which became the source of the kingdom's profits. Meißen was chosen for production, which has turned into a world-famous export center for expensive, beautiful tableware, and home decoration items. My work is called "Morning Forest in Meißen ". It is a tribute to the blue color of porcelain from this town, which fascinated me with the emerald forests of Saxon Switzerland, cozy Fachwerkhäuser, and unique history. In my work, I enjoy using heavy textures. The blue is made with a natural wood dye using a bizarre wood structure, of course, a touch of gold powder is visible here too, as a reminder of why it all started. If we look closely, we will notice a slight crackle on the surface. This was necessary for binding my idea to the theme of antique porcelain while emphasizing the abstract mysterious labyrinths of the azure porcelain forest covered with dew. “ S. Troshin

As a human being on this earth, I am deeply concerned about the environment. The once-beautiful shores of Africa and Latin America are now buried under a mountain of trash, and this reality troubles me deeply.
Through my art, I explore the themes of blue skies, oceans, pure snow, and rain in my latest project, "Five Shades of Blue." I am fascinated by the history of the color blue in art, from its origins along the Silk Roads to its representation across different continents. In this work, I draw upon this rich history and freely experiment with new artistic approaches.
My inspiration for this project comes from a quote by J.W. Goethe: "Let everyone sweep in front of his door, and the whole world will be clean!" By using my art to raise awareness and spark conversations about the environment, I hope to do my part in making the world a cleaner and more sustainable place.
