Still life with persimmon Painting

I was born in 1978 in the Odessa region (Ukraine). I live in Odessa (Ukraine). I work as an interior designer. I design residential and public facilities. Since childhood, I love to draw. I remember a postcard on paper with a picture of a girl that my father drew with pencils in his youth, without an art education. I wanted to draw like that, but I have no specialized art education. In 2017 he became interested in painting. I was inspired by video reviews and tutorials by contemporary artists on the Internet. First, watercolor, pastel. Stopped for oil and acrylic. I like to realistically depict animals, nature, flowers. Recently I got carried away with abstraction. I like to explore combinations and interweaving of shape, color and texture. I always work in a good mood. For me, painting is a state of mind, an opportunity to create. Painting is a form of meditation and an opportunity to convey your emotions and feelings to the viewer.
