On August 16, 2013, my first exhibition-revelation was held under the title "VZGLYAD". The first step has been taken. I spent a long time choosing the moment when to open up to the world. I don't know what it would have been like if I had done it at a younger age, taken all my riches out of my chest, and tried to impress everyone with my talent. Today I showed only 13 of my latest works, on which the paint has not yet had time to dry, and in my hiding places there are still paintings in which the energy is overflowing. Pictures where the youthful maximalism and inexperience of life pushed me to do crazy things. And, as it usually happens, after the next extreme jump, when only a miracle saves you, I locked myself in a room with a roll of canvas, conjured over the colors like an alchemist, and the canvas absorbed everything that had accumulated in my soul, it took me completely,and then gave me twice. I was returning to the world as a sinner after repenting at the altar.

You may ask why only 13 paintings were released, and not the others that were painted over all these years? I will tell you frankly, much more frankly than I would have told myself, that I was a coward. For the last 13 paintings, I wrote knowing that I would exhibit them, that I would show them to you, my friends. I am grateful to all those who came to this exhibition. I realized that an artist needs exhibitions, because I heard a lot of new words that opened up other facets in my paintings that I didn't even know I had. I hope that my work has also opened up new facets in some of you. It was very pleasant to hear one of my friends say: "Sanya, I don't understand anything about this, but I was really hooked." And in response, I can say that I was also hooked by the idea of the exhibition itself, because it gave me the opportunity to look into the eyes of my friends in a new way, meet new people, and just watch strangers who looked at my paintings.

Now I am writing a new series of paintings and soon they will appear before you. Do not judge me harshly, come, I have a delicious dinner, music, a decent place. And you will appear in a good mood and create an atmosphere of love and harmony. And perhaps we will take the second step in a great journey with you. See you soon!
