The beginning of the Budzhak steppe. Above Cahul Lake. Painting

For me it is important to convey to the viewer the image seen in nature or in the depths of my heart. Expressive means are taken from existing ones or new ones are being searched. The most important thing is not the style and method, but the sound of the image.
