Self-Portrait Painting

My home city is Almaty, Kazakhstan. A full-time painter, I prefer not to plan a day ahead so I can look for my subject, and paint it straight from life whenever needed. I carry my paints along the most places I go. I am a big fan of the outdoor painting, though the climate conditions can be a bit sceptic to this idea :-) I choose the traditional oil and linen canvas mediums for work as they bring me the most joy. It is a lot of physical experience, and the expectation, when I myself prepare my supports, as well as emotion, when I unpack the colors and let them flow in... I take my time and moment of peaceful work, maybe it is not exactly in hand with the digital era... my way of interacting with nature, and life around me. Welcome to share my vision!)
