For some time now Sea Lilies are with me. At First I thought they are flowers, but very quickly I was informed that they are animals. I have been using models of them in many of my matte paintings for paleontological exhibitions. So, this was just a question of time, when they will sneak up to my artworks. There is something magical in them, or fossils of them. They are kept alive, in delicate shape, vivid and happy.
