A large white ship with multiple cranes and a red waterline is moored in a harbor under a clear blue sky. Small boats and a tugboat accompany the vessel, reflecting on the calm water surface.
I am a travel lover and I am interested in the history of the places I visit, because they can become the basis of the plot of my canvases. It happened in Hamburg, where I was captivated by a unique vessel with unsurpassed naval architecture of the early 60s! Remember this time - everything had an aesthetically finished design: buildings, cars, clothes ... Humanity was on the verge of another rise. The plot of my picture is simple - the withdrawal of the "white swan", a ship that has gone down in history, to the raid.
The MS Cap San Diego is a cargo ship on display as a museum ship in Hamburg, Germany. Known for her elegant silhouette, she was the last of a series of six ships known as the white swans of the South Atlantic and marked the pinnacle of German-built general cargo ships before the advent of container ships and the decline of the German heavy shipping industry.
Cap San Diego was built and launched by Deutsche Werft in 1961 for Hamburg Süd as the last of a series of six ships. The 159 m long, 10,000 dwt ship sailed on a regular schedule between Germany and South America, making 120 round trips until 1981. After the ship was sold. The dilapidated ship was scheduled for scrapping. In 1986, when the city of Hamburg bought it, the ship was restored mainly by the labor of enthusiasts and laid-off dockers and is still in working condition. Most of the time, Cap San Diego is moored at the port of Hamburg, where visitors can access almost every part of the ship, from the bridge to the engine. Temporary exhibitions are held in one of the cargo holds. Passenger cabins can be booked for overnight stays. Several times a year, the ship leaves the harbor to sail under its own power, mainly along the Elbe River or Cuxhaven. In 2001, the ship was awarded the "Marine Heritage" award by the World Ship Trust, and in 2003 it was declared a protected cultural heritage site under German law. Sunny impressions of my painting!
The picture is painted in the author's technique with a palette knife in the style of impressionism.

Cargo Ship CITY OF SWANSEA and Tug Boat FIGHTING COCK Series Liverpool Docks part #1
oil on canvas 60x90 cm 2023 Vividly colored ships are docked at a bustling port, with their masts and rigging creating intricate patterns against a bright blue sky. The reflections of the vessels dance across the shimmering water, enhancing the dynamic feel. Among the large number of archival photos from different times, I was attracted by one, where a huge ship and a tugboat are so touchingly depicted - a small helper of a large port. Subsequently, I found, by the characteristic outlines of the hull, that the ship is a cargo ship CITY OF SWANSEA - one of five owned by Ellerman Lines and a tugboat - a bright representative of the Liverpool Fighting Cock docks of Liverpool Screw Towing. Unfortunately, the name of the author of the photograph from the D.B. Hillman Collection is not known. Today, rethinking the past, I have breathed new life into a story that was so touchingly recorded and preserved by posterity as the maritime heritage of Great Britain.

IMAGINATION
oil on canvas 80x100 cm 2025 The morning fog hides the full profile of the old city. But, as time goes by, the outlines of the majestic residents of the harbor gradually appear - the ships at the quay wall. While IMAGINATION works. The port lives on schedule - ships come and go, the old hulls of which have long dreamed of a dock, tugboats seethe, their whistles and sirens tear apart the pre-dawn darkness, as if helping the sun to break through the harbor haze and bring clarity to the magical place with a thousand reflections in the water mirror of the venerable harbor.

MS MILWAUKEE Series OCEAN LINERS and FINE ART part #5
oil on canvas 60x90 cm 2023 A large ship is docked at a harbor, with vibrant, abstract brushstrokes creating a dynamic depiction of the scene. The sky is clear and blue, complementing the bustling yet serene atmosphere of the port. I think that fate and unpredictability are synonymous words. Fate can be changeable not only in relation to people, but also to ships. From the archival photos that have recently become my companions, I highlighted the dim and image of a passenger steamer on the pier of blinding whiteness. The pronounced cheekbones of the stem undoubtedly attributed the vessel to the German traditions in the architecture of ships of the early last century. I expanded my search and found wonderful photos telling about the happy fate of the ship. MS MILWAUKEE is a German diesel passenger ship built by Blohm & Voss and launched in February 1929 for the Hamburg-America line. She was used on transatlantic routes from Hamburg to New York and cruised to the Canary Islands, Madeira and Spain on the same route. Not only was the ship with stunning lines and characteristics happy, but also thousands of passengers, whose happy faces were preserved in photographs of archives and private collections. But! Only until 1939! Afterwards there was a war!.. During World War II, the ship was used as a Kriegsmarine barracks ship. In 1945 the ship was handed over to the British government under the new name Empire Waveney and was used to transport troops. On 1 March 1946 she was badly damaged in a fire at Liverpool Dock. It was scrapped in Scotland in 1947. This was the journey of the ship, and now about its fate, which, as it turned out, is closely intertwined with the American city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, after which in 1929 the cruise line Hamburg America decided to christen its newest liner MS Milwaukee. The company brought the Milwaukee city flag to Germany for its launching ceremony. Just as now, the war destroyed ties between multiple countries and their peoples, determining the future of humanity and the ship.

KALEIDOSCOPE OF FLOWERING
oil on canvas 60x60 cm 2021 Vibrant orange blooms are the centerpiece of a dynamic composition, surrounded by softer white and blue flowers amidst a backdrop of bold, abstract strokes. The image conveys energy through its heavy impasto technique, suggesting movement and texture, while the use of contrasting colors adds to its visual impact. The still life is made with a palette knife, based on planes that resemble kaleidoscope crystals - hence the name KALEIDOSCOPE OF FLOWERING. The geometric cobweb, in general, is read by a single composition of the bouquet, which combines bright and active colors of wild flowers.
