The advantage is provided by genre paintings in which the inner world of people is revealed. Somehow answering a question of one journalist about how contemporary Kherson artists live now, Egor Yegorovich answered rather unexpectedly and to some extent extraordinary: “You know, Kherson artists lived especially well Soviet time. We had government orders, state, collective farms, enterprises ordered. We lived well. They got such a salary that it was even possible to buy a car ... Therefore, they wrote from Soviet people, yes. I wrote a milkmaid, went down to the mines of the Stakhanov movement, went to the space town ... there were serious orders and we lived off orders ... As the Soviet regime ended, so did our orders collapse. Now the topics are mostly commercial, i.e. landscapes, still lifes - something that can be sold ... Now the artist mainly lives off the market ... ”The artist’s works are in private collections in Ukraine, Russia, Europe and the USA.
