At the Age of seven, Komissarchik was inspired by the magic and colors of the circus creating his first gouache painting.
Komissarchik immigrated to the United States over twenty years ago, relocating to Marysville, California where he continues to explore his craft while assimilating the experience of living in America.
“It was here in America where I started to experience true freedom to express myself in ways that I could never do in Russia,” said Komissarchik.
Komissarchik’s enriches his art with spiritualism, while embodying hidden symbolism found in the intricate patterns and color spaces. His works submerges its viewers into a surreal world of Komissarchik imagination conveying a storm of emotions.
“I paint both what I see and what I feel,” said Komissarchik, “my paintings are finished when they are able to convey a moment or sensation of where I am, as well as what I am seeing.”
On Thursday, March 13th, 2014, the Colusa County Arts Council will showcase Komissarchik’s work with an Artist Reception starting at 5:00 p.m.
