Bakota. The place of power. Flooded village under the water Painting

Flooded village is located in an extremely picturesque place called Bakota, Podilsky Tovtry, Khmelnytsky region. Bakota was once a large, strong border village, but its history ended in 1981, when the village was completely flooded during the construction of a hydroelectric power plant. Now there is a wide and deep river Dniester, 42 meters deep. There in the rocks is one of the oldest monasteries "Rock Monastery". This place is called the place of power, and indeed, having been there you feel that you are on top of the world and full of energy. There are no routes or buses in Bakota, you can only get there by your own transport on a difficult road. In the artwork I depicted the river Dniester under which is the past village, the nature that surrounds this beautiful place, here you feel alone with nature. I wanted to convey the grandeur, the power of the water element, this picture radiates power and makes the viewer think about how strong nature is and we must protect it. A series of paintings "Nature is a workshop, an eternal exemplar of art" ​ I dedicated a series of slime paintings to the theme "Nature is a workshop, an eternal exemplar of art". I express my impressions of nature in an abstract impressionism style. I depicted real landscapes, places where I personally visited, and saw everything with my own eyes. I passed good nature energy because I want to encourage peoples to preserve and protect nature. First I took photos to then accurately mention my feelings from what I saw. Photos are needed to not forget anything because the painting is created in a few weeks. Then on a canvas with a bas-relief that looks like spiral mountains, I recreated the landscape using slime paint. The colors of the landscapes are real, and the shape is abstract. The bas-relief hypnotizes, increases sensuality, and helps the observer to touch the painting on an imaginary level, creates different shadows with a day and night light. I use slime, which is a kind of unusual material. Slime is a popular children's anti-stress toy for hands. I gave a new meaning to this viscous material, translated it to the plane of art.
