Inspiration Painting

The painting is a participant in the International Exhibition organized by the Swiss gallery HelvetArt (June 2021), category "Honorable Mentions". The painting is a participant of the International exhibition "Prism II", Envision Arts gallery ( September 2021) _____ At first, I had the idea to paint a mountain with a snow-covered top and with reflections of the setting sun on it and a lake stretching below. Almost from the very beginning, everything “went wrong”. I painted clouds -colorful, magical, and multi-colored. However, when I started to paint a mountain the feeling strange appeared that I was acting against myself, against my inner train of thought. In fact I want to express something different. I realized that I do not want to paint just a mountain landscape. I want the mountain to become the personification of the inner inspiring stream that flows in every person. However, I stubbornly resisted this thought. After all, initially I decided that I would simply write a mountain with its reflection in the lake (or just a mountain landscape). With this conviction, I almost finished the picture. Nevertheless, the picture turned out to be empty and alien to me. The unspokenness remained in my soul. Before writing pictures, I always tell myself that I should only follow my inner impulses, which visit at this very moment that I should not be constrained by frames. Moreover, having drowned out my true flows of inspiration in myself, at the exit I received an “empty” canvas. So what did I do? I brushed off most of the painting and started over. This time, following only your inner voice and spiritual impulses. Now when I was stumped and did not know how to continue, I went out onto the balcony and looked at the clouds for a long time. The path and further actions loomed themselves. Therefore the painting "Inspiration" is primarily about creative revelation and the power of the inspiring flow. That art is sometimes created not by sight, but by feelings and faith. This picture also reflects my creative path, those internal confrontations that I faced and, in the end, the liberation from conventions and the victory over them of the inner inspiring force.
