Dmitriy Kanayev

I am a self-taught artist, born in Azerbaijan in 1983.

When I paint pictures, first of all, I base myself on feelings, and then on the rules in painting. I paint pictures so that people feel and be free. Painting is a new life - it is a jump from a black hole...

I paint with oil on canvas, because only with it can I paint realistically the light in the picture. I use brushes, sometimes a palette knife...

I am inspired by the air, clouds, water. For me, this is freedom and a way out of the vicious circle.

I hope my work will find a response in you.

It is impossible to learn to painting if it is not laid down by nature. But it is given to everyone to feel it.
