ZOMBIELAND
ZOMBIELAND - fictional world or our reality?
"...all children are artists. The problem is to remain an artist when you become an
adult"
P. Picasso
“Let me tell you why I portray zombies! When I was 5 or 6 years old, I often drew
them, I imagined that I was friends with them, and then they started to attack me,
and I start to fight against them: throw imaginary missiles at them, threaten them
with toy guns, shoot with a gun. For me, everything was as if it were real, I was
even afraid that while my parents were not at home, the zombies would
definitely find me))
Now it seems to me again that zombies have attacked our world and we are all
fighting them back..."

Yes, the child's world is full of fantasies, they do not think about what is real and
what is not.
Everything is possible in their imagination!
As Jean Piaget claimed: the child possesses, so to speak, child realism - that is, the
perception of things in direct contact with oneself. This is why the fictional world
seems so real, and the imaginary characters come to life and interact. Nazar
paints what he likes, and neither the rules nor the laws of art can hinder his
freedom.
Only time will solve everything, and life will adjust...
No one can say for sure when childhood ends, and should it end at all?
Perhaps the ability to fantasize, draw, dream, believe is what saves and heals the
soul, protecting it at least a little from the harsh reality of today...
