
Bright, colorful streams of air rise above the ground. Lush bright clouds bloom in the sky like flowers. Colorful energy pulsates through the swollen clouds. Dynamic strokes with a palette knife and brush convey the power of a blossoming nature.

The heavenly flower changes its shape and rushes to the heights. It is filled with the juices of life and it is the personification of its diversity and wealth. The fountain of the first principles and the splendor of the flow of earthly energy. Pure primordial energy.

Have you ever noticed that images of sadness often help us heal from negative psychological states? Often the sunny atmosphere of feigned joy tries to aggressively pull us out of the cocoon. She seems to dazzle too much with a bright light and makes you feel uncomfortable and alien.

On the contrary, images of melancholy exist with us “on the same wavelength”. The impulses of our mood and the surrounding background are in mutual understanding. For example, sad music, rainy weather, twilight. Such images primarily brings comfort and sympathy rotthe soul, and then - calmness and balance. We are gradually gaining solid ground under our feet. And there comes spiritual healing. We begin to feel the brightness of life.

I wanted to convey this very idea in my picture. A person walks across a blinding yellow field, but reaches for the clouds gathering over him. At first glance, the clouds seem dark, but in their depths we see the play of fresh and bright colors: purple, azure, lemon. You just need to see them. This leads us to light and rebirth.

In one of the books I found a quote similar in meaning - "Indeed, light can only be found in darkness, therefore, when we are sad, this light is closest to us."

Rebirth ( Regeneration )

A new picture. There will be a description soon.

The universe always answers the right questions. I see inspiration in various images: in natural phenomena, objects, and passers-by on the streets. Recently I saw a girl on the street. She was wearing an interesting style of clothes: a rough gray skirt and soft pink lace top. So I've got an idea to capture a similar image on the painting.

However, I just could not find the right thread in the sketch. Then I just wrote a question on a piece of paper: "How can I best portray a gray-pink combination and show the idea of ​​the opposite?" After that, I've put the piece of paper in the dresser. The answer comes to me the next evening.

I left the house on the street closer to sunset and the first thing I saw in front of me was a huge gray-pink cloud... This is exactly how I wanted to paint it. A gray cloud, which had accumulated the remnants of rain, encircled the soft pink. Gloom and hope. Chaos and harmony.

They did not fit each other, but their combination was incredibly beautiful. It was the combination of two opposites that attracted the eye. After all, this happens not only with natural phenomena but also with people...

Opposites ( mountain landscape, pink and gray )

Lilac sunset over a variegated flower field. The solemn end of a summer day. The earth is still warm; the air is permeated with the aromas of honey and the singing of cicadas.

The central part of the picture is the confrontation between day and night. On the left side, the sky is still clear and azure, slightly covered with a saffron-colored cloud. Moreover, from the right side dense evening clouds are already approaching. The sun went down over the horizon and colored them in tints of pale pink, bright purple and lingonberry colors. In the very thick of this air mass, almost at the very horizon, crimson flashes took refuge.
The fervor of the sunset competes with the fervor of feelings. You freeze in the fleetingness of this enchanting moment in a colorful climax. Expressive and energetic strokes represent fickleness. It seems they to move across the canvas, creating a colorful emotional flow. The tenderness of the shades gives way to lush brightness, and in a minute, it all disappears, giving way to a deep dark sky and tranquility.

The light part of the sky is painted with a thin translucent layer of oil paints, creating the effect of a glow from the inside. Moreover, when you get closer to the horizon, the colors become thicker and more saturated. The movements of the clouds towards the horizon are reproduced in abrupt strokes. In addition, the accents were or painted thickly with oil and using a palette knife. It makes the picture looks dynamic and bright.

Confrontation of Light

Sunrise. The sun just approached the horizon and slightly showed itself in the form of a glowing yellow stroke. Very soon, it will reveal itself to a sleepy valley spreading a dazzling radiance over it.

The world awakening from sleep froze in joyful anticipation as if it itself emits a glow. The rising Sun drives clouds across the sky and paints them in pastel colors. The valley spread out below is or flooded in the morning dew and bird's singing. The river winding along it idly reflects various shades of clouds. The rays of the sun drives river and clouds.

Even the air seems to vibrate with anticipation of this happy moment.

Oil paint was applied to the canvas with dense strokes of a palette knife. The movement of strokes from the center of the picture brings dynamism. The clouds, the river and the rays of the sun seem to move out from the picture to the viewer. This method is realized by a special type of applying strokes on the canvas.

Streams of Life.

The moment before the start of a thunderstorm. Streams of gusty wind walk across the cloudy milky sky. They curl up in a ball, rise up and fall down on the rye field. The yellow color of the field contrasts with the violet-blue sky. It seems as if the rays of the sun, a minute ago, gilded rye, are now emitted from itself.

Two thunderclouds froze in silent confrontation. The first thunderclaps are not yet heard, but an exciting foreboding has already hung over the swaying rye field. Whirlwinds sway bright yellow ears. They rise and fall like the waves of the sea in a storm.

The sun went down behind the clouds and painted them in violet and dark blue tones. Lightning lurked in the coal-black thick. Just about, the first deafening roar will be heard and will carry its primal power over the waiting field. This all-consuming stream will absorb particles of sunny rye and warm earth, aromas of wild herbs and rain freshness. Moreover, it will carry it in a many-sided ragged tangle across the thundering expanse. However, so far everything is quiet, and the air, thick with anticipation, smells of earth and bread.

Air currents are depicted using semicircular strokes. They are directed towards the center of the composition and sharpen the eye on the inevitable collision of thunderclouds. The drama of the picture focused on this exciting moment. The swaying rye field merged into a single bright yellow canvas. His shudder from gusts of wind was conveyed using a textured embossed overlay of paints with a palette knife.

Premonition

Oil, canvas
60x40 sm

Hot red earth. The air vibrates with heat. The sun's rays play with bright colors of the valley stretching into the distance and the clouds floating above it. What is it? Summer idleness or the deceitfulness of a sultry afternoon? Red valley, mountains on the horizon and fluffy clouds are presented in unreal colors and bizarre shapes. Or has it just it seemed? A fantastic world that appeared on a summer afternoon. The vision that stopped time. The moment stretched out into infinity. 
 
The "Red Earth" was painted specially for the street art festival. The original idea was to depict a green flowering valley. But the coming summer heat changed plans. And I decided to convey the associations associated with him in the picture. Red-hot earth... Hot air enveloping like a cocoon... The world is seen as illusory and fantastic... 
 
The picture was painted with a palette knife. The paints were applied in broad volumetric strokes. Accent strokes create the effect of flying over the valley. Contrasting colors personify the utopianness of the moment.

Red earth.

At first, I had the idea to paint a mountain with a snow-covered top and with reflections of the setting sun on it and a lake stretching below. 

Almost from the very beginning, everything “went wrong”. I painted clouds -colorful, magical, and multi-colored. However, when I started to paint a mountain the feeling strange appeared that I was acting against myself, against my inner train of thought. In fact I want to express something different. 

I realized that I do not want to paint just a mountain landscape. I want the mountain to become the personification of the inner inspiring stream that flows in every person. However, I stubbornly resisted this thought. After all, initially I decided that I would simply write a mountain with its reflection in the lake (or just a mountain landscape). With this conviction, I almost finished the picture. Nevertheless, the picture turned out to be empty and alien to me. The unspokenness remained in my soul. 

Before writing pictures, I always tell myself that I should only follow my inner impulses, which visit at this very moment that I should not be constrained by frames. Moreover, having drowned out my true flows of inspiration in myself, at the exit I received an “empty” canvas. So what did I do? 

I brushed off most of the painting and started over. This time, following only your inner voice and spiritual impulses. Now when I was stumped and did not know how to continue, I went out onto the balcony and looked at the clouds for a long time. The path and further actions loomed themselves. 
Therefore the painting "Inspiration" is primarily about creative revelation and the power of the inspiring flow. That art is sometimes created not by sight, but by feelings and faith. This picture also reflects my creative path, those internal confrontations that I faced and, in the end, the liberation from conventions and the victory over them of the inner inspiring force. 

The painting is a participant in the International Exhibition organized by the Swiss gallery HelvetArt (June 2021), category "Honorable Mentions".

Inspiration



The painting depicts the world after a summer rain. Rain clouds, illuminated and chased away by sunlight, are just scattering on the colorful sky. Defeated... They are painted in vibrant renewed colors. Life around is no longer constrained by receded darkness. The liberated warm light brings revival and hope.
The washed world glows and dizzy with fresh aromas of change: tart, sweet, intoxicating. They rise from the ground, picked up by the wind, and merge into released united fragrant stream. He spreads around the lightness and freedom, sweeping over the valley and absorbing all the new smells.

Clouds are written in a multi-layered technique. Dynamic brush strokes and palette knife convey the atmosphere of a swirling stream releasing from the darkness. It is intertwined with many colors and shades with the dominant luminous yellow color. It is reflected both in the green of the grass and in the clear blue surface of the river.

The rebirth of the world is conveyed through the free expression of new art.

Reborn world.

The painting is the winner of the International Competition " Nature”, held by the International Gallery Art Show (Los Angeles) 2nd place (July 2021)

Illusory clouds, lush and whimsical, occurs on hot summer days. Not everyone will be able to see them in their pristine beauty.

Imagine you are standing on a hill and looking at the valley below. Thick milky clouds slowly float over her. You squint your eyes and already see them in another unreal and fantastic light in the summer heat. They seemed to have absorbed all the colors of nature. Multi-colored streaks spread over them, like living creatures, pulsing and changing colors: lemon to purple, pink to azure. The gleams of the colors are reflected on the smooth surface of the valley like in a mirror. All the richness of this fantastic world, woven into an ordinary summer afternoon, clearly looms before your eyes. This vision is so fleeting so you lose it in a second blinking.
It came back coming from your imagination and throwing an unreal gleam on an ordinary landscape. It will definitely come back again and color the usual everyday life. The main thing is to look at the world with a extraordinary look, devoid of conventions and frameworks.

"Ephemerality Painting" was painted in an abstract technique. Accentuated brush and palette knife strokes create illusory movements of color streams. The bottom of the picture is spelled out fluently and freely to focus on the colorful, magnificent action taking place in the sky.
