King of Beasts (2019) Painting by Dmitry Yerokhin

My name is Dmitry, and I am an artist. As a child, I adored drawing animals, but over the years this hobby faded into the background, replaced by my growing interest in film and television. It was in this field that I got my education and gained experience working on TV. However, my creative urge proved stronger, and eventually, I picked up the brush again. Today, painting animals has become a conscious choice for me.

At some point, alongside painting, I also explored abstract art and taught myself animation. These experiments have allowed me to see creativity in a broader, freer way.

For me, it is important to capture not just the external appearance, but also the inner world, emotions, and personality of each subject. In my paintings, I strive for sincerity, genuine emotions, and simply wish to share my love for nature and animals with others.

My family—my beloved wife Anastasia and our dwarf poodle Martin—are my greatest inspiration. Their keeps me moving forward and fills my creative journey with joy.

My main aspiration is for my art to be noticed and heard. I want to connect with people, reminding them of the incredible beauty that surrounds us, if only we take a closer look.
