Independent plein-airs (2019-2022):
- Moscow,
- Moscow region,
- Tambov region,
- Abramtsevo,
- Sergiev Posad,
- Pyatigorsk,
- Ivanovo region,
- Republic of Bashkortostan; Ufa,
- Republic of Tatarstan; Kazan,
- Smolensk region,
- Mordovia,
- Georgia.
I really like to go to the plein-air - this is both unity with nature and a challenge - to have time to catch the state of capricious and changeable weather, the opportunity to reflect what even a camera won't catch and leave a piece of my soul in the work. Here I am writing a sketch for Trinity in the church in Makolovo, which was built by my great-great-great-grandfather Nikolin Vasily Ivanovich, is it not a miracle?!
I also love music very much. In my musical childhood I played guitar, piano and organ. Now I have an electric organ, guitar, psaltery. I also love Russian classical music, Russian opera and Russian and Georgian spiritual music. And in the plein-air I always listen to my favorite music, for example, Alexey Rybnikov, which adds inspiration and perseverance to me.)
Sometimes one shows me on TV. But it is very rare, and I paint for myself. But if someone likes my work, improves his mood or encourages him to do something good, I am very happy.
I also love drawing graphics, but I really dislike when someone misrepresents the noble surname of my great-great-grandfather Ivan Lukich Shomovsky, which I also have.
In addition to plein-airs I like quick portraits for one session - it mobilizes, trains, helps to grasp the character and see the main thing.
From time to time you have to carry your work to exhibitions, and serious artists evaluate whether you can and deserve to please the viewer's eye.
After the exhibition committee there is an opening of the exhibition, which I also really dislike, because I do not like a gathering of people and not always sincere speeches. But there I can meet good friends and artists that I really like and talk to them.
Sometimes I do the hanging of my paintings myself. At a solo exhibition in Ufa I hung 46 of my works. Sometimes I design my paintings myself, with the help of Papa's miter-cutting machine. A useful thing in the household.)
And of course, I really like to visit exhibitions, I like the Russian realistic school and the artists-wanderers. The Tretyakov Gallery, Russian museum, the Museum of Russian icon - my favorite places. Here I am at the exhibition of Pavel Ryzhenko, an amazing Russian painter, our contemporary, historical and Orthodox batalist.
I am an engineer by profession, PhD, and graduated from the Bauman Moscow State Technical University, but if it were possible to change the past, I would have entered the Moscow Institute of Architecture MARCHI and become an architect combining my love of art with technical subjects, like my great-great-great-grandfather, an architect, who built churches. But it's impossible to tell everything here.

Happy Easter holiday!
I went to Makolovo for Easter not by car, but by train, but I took the paints, as with my papa. I paint one pleinair sketch "Bright Easter in Makolovo" on Holy Saturday.
I'm practicing my driving and in the summer I'll come by car to pleinairs in my native Makolovo, where my great-great-great-grandfathers are waiting for me.

I am reconstructing the fresco of the 11th century in paints. The Church of St. George the Victorious on the Gergian Metochion in Moscow..
I worked during Lent for my papa, George at the baptism, on a copy-reconstruction of the fresco of 1096 year of St. George the Victorious from the Iprari Church of the Archangels Michael and Gabriel in Upper Svaneti in Georgia.
