Original artwork description:

It often happens that some scent, image or just a phrase can take us back to that amazing and beautiful past where we lived, experienced, felt and remembered something. And we say to ourselves: “Stop! I’ve already seen this somewhere! I remember this!”

Our childhood is the most wonderful and joyful time, which is filled with tender, warm, bright memories in our “spiritual box”.

Cosmos are the flowers of my childhood, they grew in any flower bed, in any yard and front garden, when we were visiting my grandmother in the village. White, soft lilac, burgundy, crimson flowers that look like daisies.


Light, sunny, winged, soaring cosmos shared a wonderful mood and filled them with carefree happiness.

I usually create my paintings using my own references or photographic materials provided to me by photographers I know. This time I saw a composition with space and couldn’t resist. Unfortunately, I have not yet found the owner of this photo. As soon as this happens, I will immediately indicate the author.

In general, flowers are a universally recognized symbol of beauty, aesthetics and everything beautiful. And a person, observing this beauty, blossoms within himself. In today's world of chaos and visually heavy information, it is very important that we can find a point of peace, ground ourselves and come into balance. Flowers are very fragile creatures, their life is very short and fleeting, just like our lives, too. And I want to immortalize them, to capture their fragile, delicate, elusive beauty. So that the viewer, contemplating their divine harmony, can calm down within himself.
From the point of view of the technology itself and the choice of materials, canvas and oil remain my priority. One day, inhaling the aroma of fresh oil paint, linseed oil and linen canvas, I realized that this was “Love for life.” For me, these are “living” materials, and with their help I try to convey the realness, beauty and vitality of those “heroes” that I hasten to capture on canvas. My fingers remain the main tool for me. I apply thin layers of paint to the canvas over and over again. I really like glazes. It’s as if I’m immersed in a kind of meditative state in which time and the world around me cease to exist. And only my heroes, canvas and paints remain...

The colors of the photograph might be slightly different from the original painting.

This picture is painted on canvas with gallery stretch. The picture is not framed.

My paintings are neatly packed between 5 cm thick sheets of extruded polystyrene. This is a reliable and durable packaging.
Pictures are sent with a track number.

If you have any questions, I will be glad to answer them.

Materials used:

Highest quality artists' oil paint, stretched canvas, oil medium, dammar varnish
