I sent two of my key works from the autumn series and from the winter landscape series to this exhibition.
In my painting A84 (memories from childhood), I depicted large birch trees and the house of our good neighbor. These majestic trees were often repeated in my childhood drawings. I loved watching how they turn golden in autumn, how birds sit on their tops in winter and how they begin to turn green in spring. I remember and my soul becomes warm.
The second picture (A145) is valuable because it is one of the first ways to convey a frosty feeling. I love winter, but I can't stand the cold very well. Love and hate fit into this picture.

This painting is the tenth and one of the key ones in my work. Before publishing this post, I thought, which of my paintings best defines my style? After some thought, I chose this summer landscape. And although this work was created at the very beginning of my journey as an artist (I am now approaching my 200th painting), this image conveys my aspirations and ideals.
I still like to draw quickly, paint nature, use bright colors and paint with a large brush. nothing changes. Maybe this is my style that I'm looking for so hard. Or not?

Acrylic, paper, 20*30cm, 2023

My journey is just beginning, so I don’t call myself an artist, but position myself as a person who learns to draw. I am self-taught and now I am telling a story about how by setting a big goal for yourself, you can achieve a great result. My story is a motivating adventure for all aspiring artists. What am I really doing? I have been learning to draw on my own since June 2022. I try to create one piece a day (this doesn’t always work out)), study art history and create short videos with the drawing process for YouTube and TikTok. And I do all this in my free time from work. sometimes it's very difficult, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying the process. I hope someone will be inspired by my desire to become a real artist.
I am sending you three of my landscapes that I painted in 2023. Since I started painting in color in the summer, that’s why the spring landscape is missing. The paintings are made with acrylic paints on primed cardboard. Work formats are 30*40 cm. I do not give names to my paintings, only numbers. Also, all the landscapes were drawn from photographs (some artists say that this is bad, but I have poor eyesight and I really don’t feel the difference between drawing on the street and in the studio). Since I am learning to paint, I try to convey a sense of presence and natural color in my paintings. I believe that if you learn to convey the beauty of nature, then you can learn to draw everything else.

At this exhibition I presented two of my paintings with autumn landscapes. I really like to draw nature, because I believe that it serves as a standard of beauty for everything that man creates.

This painting depicts a portrait of an elderly man and is completed with red lines in a childish manner. With this work I want to show that the process of learning to draw takes a lot of time and effort. To become a professional artist, you need to create a large number of works and it’s better to start earlier from childhood.
Our childhood hobbies make us who we are and this should not be forgotten. This picture was also painted in a short period of time, like all my paintings. So in my creative activity I show that you need to appreciate every moment of life and take everything from it. (this idea has not yet been formed (and that's ok))

P.S. Unfortunately, in 2024 I did not get to this exhibition as a participant. To be honest, I was a little upset. BUT (there is always this but) This is only the first year of my studies, it is natural and logical that now I will have few good results. Well, we'll see.
