As far back as I can remember, the marine theme has attracted me since childhood. I want to share my intimate and tell a little about the origin of my love for drawing.

My grandmother is very fond of art and poetry, she has a collection of albums with paintings by various artists, impressionists and not only, with sculptures and the first photographs of the ballet.
When I was still very young, she opened the magical world of art to me. It was so fascinating and exciting for me, one might even say more real than climbing on roofs, playing football, coming up with all sorts of adventures with friends from my yard.
These childish amusements of course constituted the main layer of my childhood reality, but when I came to my grandmother and watched her albums, listened to her stories, that reality faded into the background and everyday life.
I saw that there is something so important and clinging to the very soul, striking with beauty and life, that it's impossible to imagine this world without it.

And all began with the album of paintings by Aivazovsky.
Looking at the seas in his paintings, I found myself in another space. I took pencils and redrawn his paintings, childishly, and just how it turned out.

I remember that when I was 8 years old, my parents and I were on vacation at sea, and went on a day excursion to the city of Feodosia, the city where Aivazovsky lived and worked.
There is a museum with the originals of his paintings, I dreamed of getting there!
And what my disappointment was when it turned out that that day the museum was closed! I sat on the steps at the entrance and cried, really cried. And even an ice cream didn’t ease my sadness..

So, this is all to the fact that the theme of the sea in the paintings is very close to me, although I did not paint many such paintings, only a few.

This painting called "Lagoon" is one of them.

This is tremendous ... the scale emphasizes the awe, and Van Gogh's influence is just enough here to emphasize the wonder...
