Recently, I was looking through the paintings created over the past few years and arranged them into series. I was preparing them for exhibitions. Some of them were based on reflections on contemporary events. Some were created during summer trips to art plein airs. A stack of paintings with boats appeared next to them, which was unexpected for me. I wondered why the theme of boats appears from time to time on my cardboard and canvases.

For me, this topic was a bit out of time. Traveling, vivid impressions, why boats?

Over time, I realized that it is boats and beautiful landscapes that I paint when I fantasize about a peaceful life. I really do dream that the situation will improve, and we will be able to live and act as before without restrictions.

And these boats are a symbol of the thirst for life, change, and action.

I unconsciously painted these scenes to really switch off and relax.

In the last photos, you can see the pictures I painted during the air raid when drones were flying over the city. The urge to paint was too strong; I squeezed out the paints, prepared the canvas, and heard the siren. It was too unexpected, and it was reflected in my paintings.
