The blue bird in my chest

"Simplicity, purity, delight, and lightness. Emptiness. The fleeting nature of every moment of life. That was the aim of the illustration.”

“Nabokov has a line ...and you will be like the first morning in unknown land. My illustration wants to show exactly this feeling, the weightless lightness you feel when you discover a new things, new life, new land. Gravity of the past doesn't effect on you, your soul trembles with delight like a bird. A sunny day is at the beginning, it is still as empty pure and light as the morning sky in faraway land."
