"PINK PEONY", oil painting with flowers Painting

My path as an artist is just beginning ... As a child I loved to draw and studied for 5 years in art school. It so happened that I was an engineer by education and I hadn't painted for almost 20 years. But destiny always gives us a chance to change our lives and do what we like. I have always noticed and marveled at the beauty of the world around me. I wanted to reproduce all this in my paintings, to draw attention to the things we see every day and they are familiar to us. This is exactly what artists and photographers can do - stop time and recreate the most beautiful moments! I am a night artist. I get the most inspiration at night, when nothing distracts me. Night is my source of energy, the time when I get the most relaxation from what I do. That's why almost all my paintings are painted at night. The vast majority of my paintings are landscapes, flowers of animals. In my paintings I find myself where I have never been before. I allow myself to dream, to imagine the world even brighter. Pictures and drawings are a reflection of my most pleasant emotions !!! In them is my soul! I learn a lot and research different drawing techniques and materials. This is an endless journey for me, because the modern world provides so many opportunities for this! I'm interested in absolutely everything! In my work I use only quality professional materials. Now I work on canvas and paper: oil, watercolor, acrylic and pastel. I especially like dry pastels. This is incredible material! Even modern photos are not able to convey the beauty of dry pastels! These works are velvet! Therefore, I would very much like my paintings to give you the same wonderful emotions that I felt when I created them !!!
