When a climber conquers the top of a mountain for the first time they say about him that he would be the first who conquered the mountain.
When sailors discover some lands they are said to be the discoverers of lands.
If you ask anyone who is the most famous discoverer most likely the interlocutor will remember Columbus maybe someone else but that there was someone who unmistakably found the only mountain on the planet called Ararat which protruded from the surface of the flooded water planets no one remembers.
Noah in addition to obedience to God turned out to be the first marine explorer who at the same time ended up on top of the highest mountain at that time.
Noah and his family became the last people on the planet at that time but they did not become the first although they can be said to have become the first, as a new starting point but the palm has always been and will be for Adam.
Exploring the pages of the Old Testament which is a very exciting journey into the past I decided to try to illustrate the chapters of the Bible.
I tried to do this before but with a ballpoint pen and did not achieve the desired result.
This time I picked up a pencil with a graphite core.
You know it is very difficult to be the first where people have already passed.
I saw different illustrations on the theme of the Flood very famous artists and this could stop me because I cannot be better than them.
But I did not aspire to this because started with a blank sheet of paper.
I came up with my own, my own view of the events as if through the eyes of a bird that flies parallel to the course of movement of Noah's Ark.
In this drawing everything was new to me from the waves of the ocean the sunlight the texture of the mountain to the texture of the boards from which the ark was made.
I had the feeling that I was building the ark with Noah I was present when Noah went on deck and saw dry land!
I was not the first like Noah I will not be the last like Noah I will not see the palm but I may not hear ridicule I made this journey and it was dizzying thank God!
