Attention!
The following text
was translated from the Russian original by the computer program
and has not
yet been edited.
So it can be used
only for general introduction.
I met with the artist Sergei Zagraevsky on one of his personal exhibitions in the
Central house of artists. However, this acquaintance was shaposhnoe.
I had to write about the exhibition in "Narodnaya
Gazeta", but limited survey of paintings and
account opening words of the artist before opening. I just shook hands with
him, introduced themselves, but to ask him about anything not been billing me
and lacked experience. But then suddenly out of the Newspapers and TV, I began
to learn that Zagraevsky - more than the artist. I-XX
centuries, it has a category FOR, which means "a professional artist with
individual handwriting, demanded art market and the public. He is already in
the top half of the rankings, but he only 37 years.

- Your line of fate can be called
exotic. You have tried many things in life to stay on the ball. Could you
broadly to remind about the past passions and Hobbies?
- About MADI I mentioned.
Komsomolskaya "career" started at the Institute from public office fizorga. I chose it, probably
because of the extremely small number of males in my group I was most suited
for this role is gradually made themselves felt dumbbells, which I was
interested. Then, with no fright ran last at regional competitions, I was
encouraged to sport the new post of Chairman sportsoveta faculty. And in the beginning of the
third year already was "democratically elected" to the Committee
VLKSM MADI responsible for sport and mass work.
I confess that I consciously become
"an active member of the Komsomol"to have a
chance to get a decent distribution after graduation. And got - I left the
Department. Rolling to work in the "mailbox" I had no desire. I even
defended received the degree of candidate of technical Sciences, but this
happened not once, with a delay for a year when I had this degree was needed,
as dead poultices. My grandmother, Lydia V., however, was happy that his
grandson has learned...
The business then was fond of. With
varying success, but soon broke out in 1998 default.
- The "skin" psychic really
been?
- Stripper. Once acquainted with
Level chakras
increases from the bottom up. Each person has
preferred? energy, but, for example, on one of the two
lower chakras are able to "work" all, and then - on the level of
development. The greatest fortune-tellers type Vanga were able to work, at least on the fifth
level. This theory.
Arkady has taught me a few lessons learned "immersion", i.e. entry
into the state of astral vision. I learned how to move the "look"
matchbox or swing pampas, a little up in the air.
But the psychic all the same, I avoided.
It required a lot of time, effort. To become a great psychic somehow wasn't in
my plans and dreams.
- And finally, as you become an
artist? Do not suddenly then?

copies, and two hundred cards in the end I have left. Then I issued in the same
printing several types of cards, original watercolor painting in almost
life-size.
- In painting, you are a
representative...
Naive art. He paid tribute to Henri Rousseau, Niko Pirosmani. My naivizm, as critics
say, is rooted in his childhood. Maybe because people are now
seeking a bright and kind, tired of the blood, eroticism and concrete.
You were only one of my show, just as was held in

One more direction of activity of the
Professional Union of artists - care about earning professionals. I initiated the
release of the rating of artists. These artists are dying of hunger, and hacks
- thrive. So, rating, compiled by well-known art critics, all put into place. A
talented artist must have its price. Rating gives the viewer, buyer tools,
scientific approach to assessing this or other paintings or sculptures.
My rating has already passed through
three editions. In fact, all artists have recognized him. There have been
comments, any wishes. Much has been addressed in the latest release.
