Artwork title : “Kolsay Lake. The first.” Size 150x100 sm. 2023

I did not plan to sell the paintings or display them in exhibition halls. Recently I was greatly disturbed and shocked by the situation in a place I loved, which was a muse for me, and now this virgin muse lives only in my memory, since an inaccessible, private place has become a public attraction and an active tourist area. A few years earlier, the Kolsai lakes were inaccessible to people due to certain conditions, and I loved spending time there in peace and quiet, in solitude with the wild nature and animals living there, without cellular communications and the Internet, which is very difficult to imagine in our time, built his camp, collecting wild berries, catching trout, cooking it over a fire, listening to the singing of crickets in the evenings, and the trills of birds and dragonflies during the day. But recently they began to actively develop infrastructure and attract tourists, and the first steps were not entirely successful. Household waste was found on the slopes of the mountain. In lake water - bottles, food packaging, tobacco residues, and personal hygiene products. Unfortunately, the whole world faces such problems, since society does not always behave consciously. The fact is that then I saw a terrible picture that did not allow me to agree, and I managed to stop it by raising the issue at the global level, involving the public, immediately upon arrival in the city. Many regulatory methods and solutions to this problem have been proposed, and the problem has been gradually solved. I am very concerned about the negligent attitude of modern society towards nature and the environment, and I think it is right to form a careful attitude already in schools, conducting special thematic lessons, mentioning regulations and laws on environmental protection, accompanying fines for violations around the world, and what measures are being taken around the world to preserve our nature. in April 2023, in our region, I achieved a meeting of the environmental department with representatives of our tourist areas, with the mayors of their regions at a round table, and they began work on eliminating accumulations of household waste. This painting is my first painting in the direction of landscape painting. I drew it for myself, and it was from it that a series of pictures began about the nature of my region, which suffered from its people, and measures were taken to eliminate the problems.
