"Двое" Painting

I'm an artist. I've been painting for a long time. From an early age, my parents saw in me a future artist and sent me to study. As an artist, I grew up and formed in the academic environment under the influence of such masters as Rembrandt, Michelangelo, Delacroix, Repin, Serov and Korzhev. And also my teachers from college and later from the academy have seriously changed and directed my vision of art. As time went on, I learned and understood more and more. My skills grew and my style changed. I was inspired by what I saw. With each production I changed, and along with this my style also changed, I wrote sometimes pasty - sometimes liquid, sometimes linearly - sometimes from a spot. But with all this, my hand felt mine. I didn’t take part in competitions and exhibitions much, but I won almost everything. It is the same with admission to college or academy - I was the first on the list. I am quite young and inexperienced in the art world, and now I am in the process of learning and gaining different experiences. Now, studying in the third year of my university, I am faced with the problem of realizing my own potential. In my home country, little attention is paid to this not unimportant factor. The main thing for us is to be a master of our craft, and the rest will come by itself, but based on my own, albeit small, but still experience, I gradually understand that this is far from the case. Any artist needs spectators, and they themselves will not appear from nowhere, and you need to work very hard on this, which is what I am doing now. In realization, as I think, contemporary art can help, and deviation from the canons of academicism, perhaps just as great authors did in their time. Studying not only the skill of performing in academism, but also different modern media will only help the artist in his realization as a creator.
