Meditation Father Spirit Drawing

"LorisDo" is the creative name of Larisa Leontieva. I was born in Riga (Latvia), was educated and got a profession in fashion design. One of my relatives, a famous sculptor I. Vasiliev with his art prompted to practice fine arts. In fact, in itself, drawing always occupied a special place in my life. The first practical embodiment it found in the occupation of silk painting. Then it gradually evolved into painting and was embodied in the paintings created in oil and acrylic on canvas, cardboard, blackboard, etc. There are works made with colored pencils - it is a special world, they have a special aura and the possibility of transmitting feelings and thoughts.  Ideas that arise as a result of meditation or emotional outbursts sometimes come to life on canvas relatively quickly. Sometimes it takes a long time until it finally forms into an image that can be displayed on a canvas. My husband is a self-taught artist. We create some paintings in "creative tandem". We spend part of the year in Italy. This also found expression in paintings dedicated to this beautiful country. In our work we use different materials and techniques and like to experiment also with subjects and genres (abstractionism, surrealism, realism, metaphysical trend, etc.). Our works are in private collections mainly in Italy, some in Latvia, America.
