Oil pastel on acid-free pastel paper.
Small art. Delicate and atmospheric.
This artwork is an illustration of a particular feeling of having a connection to someone who is not a human being but still has feelings and emotions, curiosity and reasons to live.
This white heron is watching you with curiosity and vigilance. "Are you a goodwill person? Can I feel safe with you?".

I am an artist and also I am an enthusiast of birdwatching. Mostly, I watch the local birds who live in the Saint Petersburg area, in parks and nearby forests, lakes, and the Finnish Gulf.
The biggest part of my time I spend in my family's country house and see different kinds of birds every day, So, it is natural that I get inspired by them and occasionally they become the subjects of my works.
