"1- Where did the inspiration come from for this piece? Painting ""Traffic"" from the series about Space, Universe, and Time. I am a polystylist painter, I paint pictures in different techniques and in different genres. A long time ago I started a series of subject-abstract paintings on the theme of Space, Universe, and Time. And also Love, Music, Nature and Women. When I work on a painting, I select and listen to a beautiful melody and paint the picture with a great feeling of Love. Collected from myths, legends and real life, these images have always excited my brain. And finally, I gave free rein to my feelings and creative impulse and began to embody these images on canvases. So that they finally find a different life and can give room for thoughts and fantasies to everyone who will be interested. When I start painting, my heartbeat rises from the expectation of a meeting with the canvas and a great desire to paint, I begin to tremble with my whole body, the muscles on my back are straining, up to cramps, and this feeling and inspiration does not let me go, all the while I paint the picture. This is akin to the feeling of having a first kiss or wanting to possess a girl. The feeling that now will happen, that something beautiful and unique. You experience the same strong feelings in childhood when you sneak up on a bird or a butterfly before you grab and catch it! And in the work on the picture there is in these feelings and almost physical suffering: foresight that now you will create a masterpiece! And this is repeated almost every time - either in front of a blank canvas or an image that comes to mind ... 2 - What is the creative process when creating your vibrant abstract art...
