I get to know the world, follow me and I will show you the stars

Everything in nature is in harmony. The element has no political color and malicious intent. The tree dies either from time or the elements and due to force majeure circumstances. In its place, sprouts of new life appear. I draw inspiration from nature.

I remember once walking after the rain in the evening in the village of Haddenham in the UK, I was fascinated by a fairly short state. When a ray of sun came out after the rain and illuminated the old cottages on the street. It was the gliding light that gave the sight magic and a harmonious image.

Sunset overlooking the mountains and the harbor next to the airport. A tired flight over and over again sits on a short runway, creating a lot of noise, and at the same time attracting tourists to the temple of Vlacherna on the island of Corfu.

This is a happy time for gardens to bloom once a year. The singing of birds, especially at night the nightingales are flooded. A tired bumblebee will fly by grumbling and carrying prey. Maybugs make their landing as scheduled. Nature actively blooms and gives sprouts of hope.

Oil Painting

The ruins of this ancient city on the territory of modern Turkey, this place is loved by tourists. The name of the city of Side is translated as pomegranate. It is not easy enough to retire to write an etude, but in the evening there are much fewer tourists. The motive with ruins at sunset and laconic at the same time is not simple, the main task is the integrity of perception.

This view was painted from sketches after a trip to Crete in the village of Bali. During the trip, I wrote 40 sketches from nature. The motive is not complicated at first glance, but that air of sfumato that envelops everything around and gives a sense of depth in the picture is one of the main tasks in the artist's work.

I also studied the history of the arts and loved the old stone architecture. Arriving in Montenegro, I visited the old fortress Old Bar with a sketchbook. It really impressed me, I liked the texture of the stone and the architectural style, it immerses the viewer in the Middle Ages.

City

Visiting London, making sketches of the city, I decided to make a series of the night city. It is at this time that the city looks different, night lights and reflexes draw shadows of the past and present on the night city and fortress.

He painted the sketch with sunflowers three times in a different state. This is already a golden sky, and a rather restrained color scheme at sunset, at the same time a play of warm and cold, reflexes and textures. The flowers themselves bent heavily to the ground under their burden. The very next day they were tied up with a cloth so that the birds would not gnaw at the seeds and they would not fall to the ground. This is the first time I've seen this. Thrifty owner.

Look up to the sky and dream. Isn't this real freedom. With this dream, action begins, an impulse of the soul, a desire for discovery. I investigate the air, its refraction by light, color, tone, I mold images from it.
