SECRET DOOR

SECRET DOOR

Dimensions: 25,6"x61"
Oil, canvas
Year: 2022


My world has been torn apart. Now there is water everywhere, but everyone has forgotten how it used to be. I dived into the ocean of my memories to find the Forest of a thousand doors. There grew my favorite tree. I used to climb on it as a child and listen to the stories of the old octopus. The forest is no longer there, all the trees are swimming separately. I grew a jellyfish, now I swim fast and very beautiful. Sorry no one can see. My jellyfish collected a few stars to make the keys out of their dust. They ring melodiously when I move. Familiar melody. At last I found a tree. The old octopus smiled wearily. «How good is it that you caught the moon. Have you kept the secret of the tiny door?» I found a keyhole. A suitable key volunteered to open the door and swam to it. I pressed my ear to my familiar skin and listened to the stars chirping inside. I remembered listening to their sonatas on warm summer nights. They smelled like raspberries. I put my hand deeper and felt an old friend hold my hand. I was covered in a wave of peace. The sunlight pierced everything.

FORGET-ME-NOT

FORGET-ME-NOT

Dimensions: 5.9"x5.9"
Oil, canvas
Year: 2022


This bird looks like fireworks in the night sky, but falls to pieces. Recent studies have shown that when a fireworks display occurs near a wild bird roost, the birds panic, which can lead to huge numbers of deaths, usually because these birds run into solid objects that they cannot see. The explosions may cause birds to take off en masse for prolonged periods of time and to use up vital energy reserves needed for survival. Dedicated to all birds affected by fireworks.

How to store oil painting

  1. Ideally, it is necessary to maintain a room temperature of 18-22 ° C, humidity from 40 to 70% and illumination up to 150 lux. Oil painting is extremely sensitive to temperature differences and drafts. At the same time, oil paintings need good ventilation.
  2. Do not allow direct sunlight to enter the canvas.
  3. Do not place in close proximity to air conditioners and heaters.
  4. Incandescent bulbs with a power of 100 watts and equivalent energy-saving lamps should place it at a distance of a meter or more from the picture.
  5. Do not touch the canvas with your hands.
  6. As an additional protection of the purchase, you can enclose a colorful layer under the glass, leaving a gap of 5-8 mm. Ordinary cardboard will help protect the canvas from behind.
It is not difficult to take care of oil paintings. It is important to observe the following rules:
  1. You can fight dust with a clean cloth made of flannel or velvet, moving it in one direction. The movements should be light, no need to press on the surface of the canvas. After cleaning the canvas from the front side, do not forget about the reverse. Instead of fabric , you can use a fleitz — a wide flat brush with soft bristles.
  2. To remove heavy dirt or if you have any doubts that you if you can clean the painting without damaging it, contact a professional restorer. He will return the oil painting to its original appearance.
  3. It happens that the canvas sags over time. In the case of a modular subframe, you can to fix the flaw on your own — carefully knock out the wedges. With a blind stretcher for you they will help in the baguette workshop.
