Colourful Portrait Drawing

Hello! My name is Olena Zhyhaltsova. I am 58 years old. I am from Ukraine, but due to some circumstances I moved to Norway in 2022. I have no art education, but I have been keen on painting since my childhood. I have painted mainly portraits of my friends and copies of old paintings. I didn't paint for a long period because I have a big family, I am married and have five children. Now as I came to Norway I started to paint again. I paint in the style of realism and photorealism. I am a self taught beginner and don't have any art education that's why I depict the object the way I see it and the way I can depict its form, color and character. I think that an artist that works in the style of realism necessarily reflects their own view of the depicted object and his vision of the world in their artworks. Here I bring to your attention some of my works that reflect my own vision of the world.
