Actual theme, to which I came only in my 30, began as early as school. Everyone remembers school brief cases on which were printed cartoon pictures; in childhood I liked drawing them the most. There were lots of them and for me this was the best way of spending after school time. Toys pursued me right through my life – I even wanted to come forward with the loggerhead of bird with a bill on half size of the stage.
And they however came to me in a new appearance, opening all the lightest, that was in my childhood, and filled that grayness which so often does compel to invent something «from a mind». I gave up the searches of new ideas «outside myself», realizing the following: what became opened, always was inside of me and as a miracle exposed the world of positive emotions, child's gladness, real values, and the most important – honesty in front of myself.
I really hope that my new works will bring you more of that light and positive, which we lose during our lifetime, cheer your mood up and will compliment with gladness.
God blessings to all of You, with best regards Alex Drozd «Osipov».
