The soul of our region is gentle, but nature is severe. The character is tough, and the people are warm. All these are the links in one unbreakable chain and the subject of my artistic research. I am currently working on a series of paintings inspired by the nature of the Urals, ancient beliefs, myths, legends and the times when people endowed objects of inanimate nature with human qualities. Endowing objects of inanimate nature with some kind of essence brings a person the feeling that he is not alone in this world. That is why in all the legends of the ancient world the rocks talked, the trees protected from severe weather conditions and the wind was a counselor in a journey. In my project I turn to Metaphors of natural objects and phenomena in order to show through them the connection between man and nature. You and I are of the same blood. My project is about the fact that a person is only a part of nature and all the other elements of this world are of the same importance. In my paintings there is a dialogue between nature and a man. The project consists of original paintings made in oil on canvas.
