These are not necessarily siblings, or cousins. It could be, but it is not necessary. At this age, friends can be, and often are, closer than brothers. Or they think so. It seems to them that in their life there has never been such a close understanding of a person. But very soon their friendship will end. It will be a woman. The place of each of them in the photo will be taken by a woman. And they will continue to think that there is no closer and more intelligible person in the world. And so in a circle, in an endless circle of life.

I painted this picture, like all my other paintings using completely traditional methods. With the help of oil paints, canvas and his hands. Everything is absolutely traditional and natural. I have been doing this work for more than 30 years and doing it with quality.

Each painting is accompanied by a certificate of origin, signed by me.
