Initially you think that it is you who choose painting, and then you understand that it is painting who chose you and it is you who serve him, because this is the essence of a person - to be a creator. Why do I depict animals and birds? These are speechless creatures that people usually look down on, considering themselves the masters of this world. For me, animals are not primitive, dumb creatures that live only by instincts, but living creatures that, like us, follow their life path, gain experience and evolve. And the fact that they are silent does not mean that there is nothing they would like to say. I cry when I see whales washed ashore from the sea. What do they mean by this? I do not know. Therefore, working on this topic is also my personal research, because I want to know the answers to such questions. I'm not sure if I can get all the answers, but I'll paint. I want animals to speak to us from my artworks. I want them to talk about how good they feel or how much they hurt. Speak without words. And let each of us hear his own.
