“I belong somewhere I feel free, I belong among all the wild flowers”- unknown

I vividly remember my childhood in Siberia. We lived on a military base, a one street village, that was surrounded by Siberian woods with hundreds of miles of raw untouched nature. Picking mushrooms in the woods was one of the most exciting adventure for our family. Those pines and birches forests had the most beautiful meadows with exhilarating smells.

The incredible quietness of our life there and absence of any sort of civilization chaos and load noise had sharpened all our sensors and rooted our soul with the Mother Earth. Wild flowers bring most intimate and joyful childhood feelings to me. I hope this painting connects you with yours as well. Best wishes!
