The Angara in the painting is music, poetry, and painting all at once! It embodies freedom, freshness, and the sharpness of life, and it is impossible not to celebrate it; therefore, time and again, it attracts my soul, and, inhaling the fresh wind and the coolness of the wave, I paint it with my brush and sing of it in verses. In historical sources, the Angara is first mentioned in the 13th century under the name Ankara-Murén. Those who have visited these Siberian expanses never forget them and inevitably return! In the painting – the magic of the Angara wave, the fresh wind of the taiga expanses, and the scent of freedom!
