Absurd (2023) Painting by Zelenin

I was born and raised in a small town located in the central part of Russia. Since childhood, I have been interested in cooking, and that is why I became a chef. I have achieved a lot in this field, but I always felt that this was not the only thing I could do. I have always been interested in art and somehow even started drawing, but I never considered it more than a hobby. One day, while in the kitchen, I noticed that my culinary masterpieces had some artistic qualities - color, shape, texture. This made me think that art can be expressed not only on the canvas, but also on the plate. So I began to experiment with different products, shapes and textures, creating colorful and original dishes. This was my first step towards combining my two passions - cooking and art. But I didn't stop there. I began to master various drawing techniques, and soon discovered that I had found myself here too. I began to create paintings using various materials and techniques, including acrylic, stencil and collage. Now I am convinced that there is art in everything we do. I use my knowledge and experience to create unique pieces of art, whether on a plate or canvas. I believe that the main thing is to find your own tool for self-expression and not be afraid to experiment to create something unique and inimitable.
