Speaking about my art...

I look for the most inspiring places for creativity. I try to be closer to the nature - that helps to reveal fresh and delicate human feelings: what was clenched by megalopolis deep in soul, wakes up towards to the sun and wind. I would love to give a gulp of fresh air to people who live in the sultriness of the big cities - yes, I want to share the energy that fills me from within: this energy stirs me, tears me to pieces, carries away into the sky and makes me take up the brush. I love cutting through the plane with lines, transferring the jingling vibration of the air; I love dreaming of flight. I want to give a joy. I draw when I feel vibration in my whole body: everything turns upside down, and the drawing canvas shoots out like a spiral from within an essence. Then I cultivate it, cleaning from a peel to get the crystal-clear creation embodied in harmony and color at the end.
Though is it the really end?
