Against the rules Painting

Hello everyone, my name is Vyacheslav Martyniuk, and I am originally from Ukraine. I entered the world of visual arts by chance. When I was a 6-year-old boy, I took a thin sheet of paper, tightly pressed it against a drawing on a small wooden stool, and simply traced the contours of the drawing over the almost transparent sheet. After that, proudly presenting the result to my father, he was so impressed by my "talent" that the next day he took me to an art school. Since then, having completed art school and acquired additional art education, I could no longer imagine my life without painting. The next 12 years of my life were dedicated to digital painting, working in game development, which significantly influenced my style in the future. Throughout my journey as a digital artist, I always felt the urge to return to traditional painting and create canvases. I told myself, 'One day, I'll drop everything and fulfill my dream.' But as we all know, the responsibility for our dreams lies primarily with us, and there may not be an ideal time to bring them to life. And then, one day, after very difficult emotional upheavals, I told myself: 'If not now, then never.' I returned to what I had dreamed of. In our lives, there are many emotions, both good and bad, and all of them are beautiful. As an artist and a living person, I express them in my paintings, bringing a little more color to our world. For me, this is the best way to find an outlet for my emotions inside and achieve peace, even if only for a short period. That's why I try to draw every day, even if it's just a small picture.
