At present Mikhail Viktorovich works at the Kholui
Craft Workshops. He paints his compositions in the style of Kholui
lacquered miniature, using tempera paints. Themes of his works are Russian folk fairy-tales, historical themes and architecture. His favorite themes to depict are fairy-tales and architecture.
The artist hopes his works will help to revive the interest to ancient Russian architecture. Beginning to paint, he intends to reflect a chosen theme as he imagines it.
Mikhail Viktorovich prefers to use in painting the tones of natural stones. He thinks his works are notable for a peculiar painting technique.
Works by the famous Kholui artists Belov V.A. and Baburin N.I had a great influence on the artist's creative work.
