"Moon path" Painting

My name is Konstantin Rudnev, I have lived and worked in Mariupol, Ukraine for the most part of my life. I graduated from comprehensive and art schools in Mariupol, then from Priazovsky State Technical University. I worked as a furniture and interior designer, painted oil pantings, wrote poetry and stories, and for the last years I have been working as a translator. In 2014, I proposed to the city mayor an option for reconstructing the central square of the city of Mariupol, decorating it with doves of peace and calling it Peace Avenue, and these proposals were brought to life later. I loved Mariupol, and only the war and destruction of the city forced me to move from there. I spent 21 days in a siege, I saw many horrible things. But in my paintings I tried to express not the horrors of war, but the beauties of life around.
I mainly paint with oil paints on canvas, sometimes with acrylic. I like any subject where reality crosses a fine line into fantasy, I believe that each picture should carry some important opinion through symbols, in my opinion, this is most interestingly achieved with the help of sematicism. I believe in life and the possibility of changing it for the better, this is the support of my inspiration, which I would like to wish to everyone who reads these lines.
