I don’t paint objects; I paint their emotions. My process begins not with a subject but with an image-feeling. For example, when working on one of my series, I recalled a specific day and the sensation it carried—it was yellow. Yellow was the mood, the atmosphere, the way the world felt, and, as a result, the image that emerged.

I strive to have an open, honest, and effortless dialogue with the viewer—without pretension or grandiose statements. I want to speak freely and simply, unafraid to squeeze an entire tube of paint onto the canvas, to experiment with powder, varnish, and enamel, to avoid being confined to a single series or theme. My hope is that this same sense of freedom and ease comes through in my work and in the way it is perceived.

George Khomich, born 1999. Contemporary artist based in Russia.

Georgiy’s background in scenography has shaped his unique approach to the canvas surface. Working with a variety of materials—powder, airbrush, oil, acrylic, pastel, pigments, and varnishes—he creates real depth, immersing the viewer in the space of the painting.

His work is rooted in familiar and universally recognizable images: boats, flowers and bouquets, animals and birds, the human figure, and more. However, for Georgiy, objects serve primarily as a pretext for exploring texture, color relationships, and rhythm. Through this dynamic interplay, forms dissolve into a vibrant flow of color, shedding the weight of reality and everyday perception to become part of a purely painterly composition.
Georgiy’s works are an invitation to engage with the essence of painting itself—using it as a path to introspection, personal emotions, and an intimate perception of life.
