Igor Gorin. Biographical note.

"... A bird, flying in the sky is a symbol of freedom. Freedom
is the most important thing in life to me. Freedom of
expression and opinion is like that bird in the sky. It does
not matter what the subject is, it is the creative impulse that
carries me to the sky. With my paintings I want my spectators
to be captured by this impulse and to fly together with me. My
paintings are the "freedom of spirit"!
