The Old Man and the Sea1

In 1997, 40 year old Alexander Petrov of Prechistoe, Russia struggled against a strange environment (Canada), a new and intimidating technology (IMAX), and with the use of his finger tips, transformed Hemingway's ode to masculinity from splashes of oil paint into a vibrant, coherent, fresco in motion.

Russian artists are so underrated. This should be shown in every single school of art in the world. It has its place with the biggest "chefs d'oeuvres " in the History. Thank you Mr Petrov this is pure genius and hard work.

is this in japanese? this sounds very much like japanese. i know that doesn't make sense at all, as the artist was russian and his other pieces are in russian, but to me this sounds very much like japanese.
