The rhythm of modern life leaves so little time for the deeper communication with the nature. Our involvement in natural phenomena is limited by the short contemplations and surface analysis, at the best. But how beautiful every season is, what a wonderful world is surrounding us, all we have to do is just stop and focus...
Extremely diverse range of lines, shapes and colors! From an early age, I was influenced by the joyful communication with the nature. This colorful world absorbed me completely. The desire to stop time for a moment prompted to the modest attempts to create. Models sketching and copying the works of famous masters expanded my world outlook prompted to the different techniques of execution, from the pencil to the watercolor and oil paints.
During the long hikes on etudes I've started to prefer watercolor, because of it's plasticity and convenience in work. Watercolor technique albeit somewhat unpredictable, but at the same time it disciplines. It forces to think through the process in stages.
Despite all the modern techniques of painting, watercolor keeps classic traditions. Every new work is admiration for the diversity of everything that surrounds us.
I'm glad to share my "capture" with you!
