dneQ: I’m acting under dn eQ pseudonym. I can draw with pencil on paper, do digital works and oil on canvas. I paint because the world has some rules that are incomprehensible to me I try to paint that incomprehensible. I drew for the first time when I was five years old. About two years later, I went to school, after which I entered university. During my university years, I forgot about drawing. But in my senior year I saw a film about an artist. After watching the film, art awakened in me again and I realized that I should start painting again. I started drawing on the papers I had at hand, even on the last pages of notebooks. I was almost always drawing, even during lessons. After graduation, take painting more seriously. Something was missing when I drew on paper. I decided to paint digitally. After a while I realized that digital painting is not enough. There was a lack of contact with nature. I wanted to feel the colors and their smell. I understood that it is necessary to switch to oil painting, now I paint with oil on canvas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
