After a long winter and anxious days and nights, I finally went with my friends to an art plein air in the suburbs. It seems to me that creativity is the only thing that can heal me from fear and lack of understanding of the future in my country, where there is a war.
During the plein airs, I make the first layers of paint, think about the composition and the main idea. Sometimes the first layers are subconscious. For me, it's like meditation, I try not to think about anything at this time and catch every moment of the sun's rays. A great emptiness - that's what happens to me when I paint.
My work is an attempt to engage in a dialog with nature and feel the creative message from the space.
If you are engaged in meditation, yoga, or spiritual practices, you know some situations that also occur in the space of a creative person: an artist, composer, performer, and others.
Going to a natural space with high hills, a wide river a quarry, and apricot trees in bloom was a great happiness after being forced to stay in a cramped apartment during the winter. Of course, I continued my creative work and created a large number of paintings even in winter. But the natural space is really different, it provides inspiration and new ideas for the future.

Friends, I don’t know how this happened, but the Moscow region appeared in the text I wrote. This seems like a cruel joke. I don’t know how to ask moderators for help to correct the text and remove this name of the area. The sad paradox is that I cannot even theoretically be there, since it is the Russians who bomb us every day. I am Ukrainian and live and do creative work directly in my homeland.
