Smirnov has been copying famous paintings for 17 years already; new millennium became the start of his artistic life. Answering the question, why he only copies paintings, he humbly says that it is too late for him to create his own works, but copying is really involving process for him. To the next question: “Why are you so interested in the works of foreign painters?” – the answer was – “I feel the freedom in them, without any academic boundaries.” Anyway, every creator has his own view on freedom.
