"Asking Yurik to join us for our wedding day was easily the best decision we made during the wedding planning process. We, along with our guests, loved watching Yurik bring our special moment to life right in front of us and turn it into a beautiful piece we will enjoy for years to come! An attentive professional, Yurik planned the painting and it's contents with us from the beginning in order to deliver exactly what we wanted. Thank you, Yurik!"

“Yurik was so great to work with. I presented an idea that was somewhat new to him and he obliged with such interest and enthusiasm. I wanted someone to live paint a scene at my good friend’s baby shower. Yurik asked great questions and offered terrific ideas. His work is beautiful! He captured the mom-to-be so well. My friend will cherish it! I was pleasantly surprised how quickly he finished the painting and mailed it. Five stars for Yurik!”

"It's been my girlfriend's dream to be a mermaid since she was a child. I commissioned Yurik to paint her as a mermaid for her birthday a few years ago. His talent and attention to detail far exceeded my highest expectations. She was completely floored and overjoyed with the finished piece. It's so realistic and accurate but still with an air of dream-like fantasy. You can see it on his fine art website and FB page. It's called "Daybreak". Thank you so much Yurik!"
