#2: Alpine sunrise

Alpine sunrise and refreshing mood

#1: Alpine sunset

Here starts a new line of pastel paintings: Alpine Mountains!
And do you know why?
Basically mountains stay the same during years. But the sun, the weather and our feelings inside make them to be different every time in the moment in which you look at them. In this line of paintings, you will see how many variations of feelings and emotions could be projected on the same mountains.

Papavero Italiano

In Italy is already summer. You can see everywhere flowers, and poppies in this sense are really champions. From little drops of red near the bus station in the city to huge fields strewn with them.

Silent mystery

Mountains have their own wisdom and mystery. Being in the mountains, they call you to a challenge. The challenge of a journey to find yourself. But only you decide which path to choose. All of the paths are covered by the mystery of their millennial wisdom. One of them is about silence and meditation. Try to hear and discover yourself in this journey of mysterious mountain philosophy.

Spring is comming

The spring is felt everywhere here! The warm sun, the flowers' smell, the birds' songs....It's amazing how everything has changed so quickly. This spring seems to be fantastic and full of colour of joy! Just enjoy it! :)

P.S. Small quick sketch of a bush's pink flower.

Colourful winter

White is a colour for winter. But the snow is not everytime only white!  If it was like this, painters would have presented clear white canvas for a perfect white winter. All the colours depend on light, weather and time of the day. And with all these together you create the mood. So, my winter in Milan is colourful and full of joy.

Explore new life

A new year, new places, new friends, new knowledge and new CHALLENGE!

Taste the Moldavian Autumn!

The weather has changed into cold and rainy one. It's not sad, but it makes me stay inside and recover myself after a flu. In order to not waist the priceless time, I'm going to present the other side of Moldavian Autumns: yellow fragrant quinces and juicy grapes!
 What can be more suggestive?

Moldavian landscape

What can be more pleasant for the soul then enjoying a middle summer scenery from your native country?!
Probably, it depends, but personally for me this is associated with peace and happiness. I'd spent my childhood in a small village in the heart of Moldova, and the local landscapes penetrated deeply in my soul. There was a happy and carefree time. So, I can't hide the excitement of admiring a piece of paradise!
