In his work, the author relies on what he has ever seen and experienced, but, more often than not, he deliberately refuses to specify the place or object. They are only material for composing his own free compositions on a theme consonant with a particular state of mind. This task is met by the established method of work: colored, ocher or silver-green primers, quick underpainting with acrylic paints in order to immediately create a general mood to which the author could return during subsequent, more thoughtful, lengthy work; as a rule, he completes it with oil paints, on top of a layer of varnish protecting acrylic. Konstantin Troitsky exhibited his paintings in more than 100 exhibitions. Participant of the 43-47 exhibitions of the “Association of Traveling Art Exhibitions of the XXI Century (St. Petersburg)” K. Troitsky’s works are in museums in Russia and private collections in Germany, France, Italy, England, Holland, Belgium, Sweden, Finland and the USA.
