Vira Mukhina

During the quarantine, I was more and more inspired by the sky.

It’s endless free space, constantly changing and amazing! I really love to watch the clouds float, and now they have become an integral part of almost all of my works. I am lucky to live on the high floor and sometimes the clouds seem to look directly into my windows!

I have long wanted to learn how to draw these summer white giants, these loud spring thunderclouds! Quarantine gave me more time to watch. Draw states, moods. I love watercolor) Watercolor is color (made up of many small particles of stone and minerals) and water, almost like all these bright pictures of the sky. This is what inspires me now.

The work is about the life of my home, my window, and probably me. Our minimized contacts with other people caused something similar to this thirsty tulip. But we’re still trying to communicate and support each other in social networks like Facebook. They are like this glass with water. And our life is still trying to rage like the clouds outside the window. My old favorite box with watercolor is as open as I am for this new life. I’m ready to share colors with you in this turned gray world.

Walking through the city, looking up into the air you can see the street as a river. With architecture banks and sky water. See an explosion of autumn colors against the backdrop of gray clouds onslaught. See the sunlight still warming and playing with paints.
