Has created his own inimitable technique and unique style. Works with oil and a palette knife on coloured backgrounds. Develops the contrast colour technique. Artist creates a picturesque mosaic, and this enables to deliver the shining of light in tens, hundreds of different shades – "valours" of colour. Dmitry uses interesting confluences of contrast colours, through which he achieves magnificent colour harmonies. Colour on the level of feelings is the main theme of his paintings! From "colour", Dobrovolsky himself is born, and it is impossible to change him.

"To me, the whole essence of painting is in colour. It is colour that should serve as the motivation to do anything, to reach positive emotions. To raise the spirits and to make people believe that life is wonderful…"
