Oleg Shcherbakov

Every artist, great or not so great, but genuine is a whole world that is pierced by tension of thoughts, passions, emotions, creative or destructive energies. Stepping over the threshold of this imaginary in some aspects but terribly real world we feel the impossibility of its full cognition, all semitones and nuances of light and shadow, the most secret sufferings and doubts that are hidden from the stranger's eye.

     Oleg Sherbakov is a real artist and a poet. He lives with bare nerves, as if they are switched on the high voltage net. It is the price that an artist pays for his right for sincerity of self-expression, for his own word in art and life.
