Artist's Statement

Every moment of the life the artist finds himself on the crossroad, life opens from the new side, new impressions, new horizons, new angles+ Permanent search, permanent movement. And at the same time some things should stay eternal: the art should be positive. Love to God, to life, to people and to light. Art must bring happiness and kindness. Art mustn't soothe pride and vanity of the artist. If your soul isn't filled with warmth and love, you won't avoid penetration of coldness and arrogance. It won't matter how genius would be the master, this genius will be negative. That's why both artist and spectator should be extremely thoughtful for themselves and their creative work. I whish all the artists and art fans a lot of happiness and love in their work and their hearts! Vitaly Makarov
