Exhibition "Man and Nature"

In the Regional Library named after V.I.Lenin from May 7 to May 30, 2015, my fourth personal exhibition of painting was opened. The theme and title of this exhibition sounds like “Man and Nature”.

The official opening took place on Thursday, May 7 at 16:00.

In the early morning foggy haze, a man walks with a light unhurried gait. He’s in no hurry. He absorbs the beauty of the surrounding nature, inhaling the fresh air and the aroma of a foggy morning. Rare cars rush past him and rare passers-by, apparently hurrying to work, run past. But it doesn’t affect him at all. He is in a special state of inner harmony with himself and nature, which he does not want to disturb. He understands how man and nature are inseparable. Even created by human hands, it is still part of the unsteady world. Everything that surrounds us, everything we are used to, what we live and breathe is an inseparable part of the great and incomprehensible nature.

This man keeps walking and watching. Here is a house drowning in mist, which is, if one imagines, a great mountain. Here is a street that passes into a bridge over the river, which gives coolness and breeze. And here is a small sprout that breaks through the asphalt. Everything literally breathes purity and beauty, simplicity and unity.

Here he stops, inhales the fresh air and sits down on the grass by the side of the road. He remembers the faces of those who so carefully preserve the world around us and do not let it perish. He recalls the pleasant moments of touching the gentle creatures of nature, living beings that gave him a lot of happiness. He sits for a long time and remembers, smiling to himself with an absurd, but insanely happy smile.

Meanwhile, a wild modern city begins to wake up around. He slowly but undeniably absorbs this unsteady state of falling in love with the close connection between man and nature. The city is saturated with it, filled with new notes, gradually coming to life.

Here a person gets up and slowly goes into the distance, leaving us with an understanding of the importance of the unity of man and nature. It is preserved in small fragments of memorable moments, which we can see even now, if we only want to feel again and feel that man is a part of nature.
