Vegetal Painting

I was born and live in the south of Russia, in a cozy green town. I spend a lot of time in nature. As a child, in my parents' garden, on country picnics, I watched her miracles: the growth from the seed of a whole plant, its changes, watched as a snail crawls out of the shell and pulls out antennae with eyes, looks at me, stroked all dogs and cats.I was awed by the contemplation of life on the planet. Like all children, I drew it.The music teacher recommended that I go to art school instead. I painted all the music notebooks. All the notebooks are school books too. While studying at the Faculty of Art, I was inspired by how nature takes back the territory that man mastered. I drew skeletons of houses overgrown with ivy, fences in a hurry, covered with moss. I found beauty in them because of the inner feeling that I was like a place abandoned by a man, abandoned by myself and my family. It wasn't easy for me in my parents' family. After coming into contact with spiritual knowledge in 2013 and the shock of discovering new things, I began to draw abstractions to express my mental states, they were rushing out. At first, the drawings were gloomy. They were art therapy for me. It's like ventilation of the inner corners, where no light has penetrated before. When a lot of light penetrated, the drawings changed. They began to delight with their beauty and abundant content. The lines on them are intertwined like climbing plants, like streams on asphalt. Everything in our world is so intertwined, there is nothing separate, although it sometimes seems so. My paintings can be called travel paintings, metaphorical paintings. Holding your gaze on the image gives you the opportunity to have a heart-to-heart conversation with yourself. Contemplating them, you can meditate and observe your states. Inspired by the flight of birds, cracks on the ground, streams of rain on the road, intertwined branches, threads, deep warm conversations.
