POND LILIES Print

Like almost all other artists, I’ve been into painting since childhood, and this interest stemmed my father. He graduated from art school, and it was true magic for me to see what amazing drawings came out of a simple pencil and paper. To see how lines could convert into something utterly beautiful and realistic. I really enjoy painting wildlife and nature since I want to capture this beauty. I also want to let others see the ordinary things from a new perspective. My art sends a message about the fragility of this world. I want them to see its beauty and realize that this world needs to be protected. Occasionally, I paint people, but they are always a means to convey some strong emotions, or reflect cultural and social aspects. I love combining realism with impressionism. My work is reality through emotion. It’s a combination of colors, textures and meticulous details. Subtle details allow me to highlight the most important things, texture makes the painting seem alive and real, while vivid strokes create an atmosphere of a certain emotion. The beauty of emotion and empathy is probably the main thing in my work. I try to show the value, fragility, and beauty of this world through art that combines European and Eastern principles. I show the uniqueness of each, and how at the same time, they all look alike.
