Reflection Print

I was born in Ukraine and spent my childhood there and in Russia, than my family moved to Kazakhstan. I live in Almaty (former capital of the country) more than 40 years. It's the amazing place because of nature: Alatau mountains and more than 300 sunny days a year. I liked painting since my childhood but had got a long break because of work as IT-specialist and Project manager. I've been impressed by the paintings of Claude Monet which I could see in Moscow, Sankt-Petersburg and Vienna: the delicate palette of the colours; soft brushstroke style and a lot of sunshine. It's very close to my perception of the nature. I don't know well about technics of painting, I try to follow my interior feel and use the materials which are close to my nature. Guache is amazing: from the transparency of watercolour to the thickness of oil painting. 2 years ago I started to visit the Master Class of painting and now I can't imagine how I lived without it. I feel the nature by colours and forms and want to share my vision with the people who love beauty.
