Magic land Print

About Pavlo Kiriakov I was born in the city of Kyiv, Ukraine. From the earliest years of my life I felt a longing for the beautiful, aesthetically appreciating the beauty of the Native Land, the unforgettable landscapes that our planet gives us. It inspired me to take a pencil in my hands, to start painting my own watercolor drawings and then bright oil paintings. I received my art education when I six years studied at a specialized Art studio in Kyiv and also passed a semester of Art courses in the the House of Architects of Ukraine. Painting was always my dream. As for me, the process of painting is the same as life in nature develops. You take the grain, plant it into the fertile land. Take care of the young sprout. And, over time, either a beautiful flower or a lush tree with beautiful juicy fruits grow from a small grain. So with the picture. Take clean canvas. Doing undermining. He is not beautiful and not understandable for others. You start to paint and, oh miracle, an image appears and life is born on the canvas. That is why I like to paint, embody my vision of nature on canvas and convey my feelings. My inspiration has always been great skies and landscapes, especially bright sunsets over the sea or dramatic formidable thunderclouds. I must note that I draw from memory. These are memorable and imaginary landscapes. I don’t want to be burdened with the exact reproduction of subject. First of all, I'm interested in the image of the landscape, the simplified representation of its forms. I use color and pattern in the description of geography and include some information indicating the place, but in a significantly reduced and highly stylized form. My Art reflects the world I perceive with all my senses; all the things that affect the way I am. I call the paintings places and impressions that I had during my travels, although the image often does not have anything that would point directly to a particular place. Diespite this, I like that each viewer will interpret the picture through his perception. I currently works in my small home studio in Kyiv. I also organized a small studio in my country house where I work in the summer. Throughout my career I organized and participated in various art festivals on which paintings of Ukrainian and foreign artists were presented. The main my goal is to engage the viewer in the creative process, feel the color scheme in all its glory, love the beauty of nature and protect it.
