"Snowfall" Painting

From my earliest years, even the very word “painting” resonated within me. Long before I learned to read or write, I had already discovered the act of painting. On every blank surface - paper, wood, wall or stone - I laid my hand, drawing and coloring. Through the lens of imagination, everything around me was shaped, transformed, and imbued with color.
My father, deeply moved by this innate inclination, guided me onto the pathways of art. He introduced me to celebrated painters of my city, from whom I received my first lessons in drawing and painting.
As I grew older, one truth crystallized within me: painting is not simply a cherished hobby. It is the very way I perceive the world around me — the way I give form, meaning, and story to things. It is not a choice but a necessity, my way of life.
