St. Sophia Cathedral in Istanbul. Hagia Sophia. Light. Drawing

My name is Viktoria Gaman. I am a Russian artist. I paint and write using different techniques and different materials, such as dry pastel, watercolor, oil, ink and ink, markers. But my favorite material is soft pastels. I can express a lot in pastels and oils, and the main thing is to preserve the brightness of the color and create a realistic image. I am inspired by nature, animals and birds, as well as travel. I want to do what I love sincerely and honestly. Show people the world as I see it. I want beauty and kindness to triumph around. This is not yet possible, but we must strive for this. Strive to overcome human vices. And to keep the planet the way God created it - beautiful, full of variety of animals. And it is in the paintings that I show the beauty of animals, their feelings, the beauty of nature, the beauty of man and his emotions. The world is full of imperfections and dirt. You should not produce it in creativity. My personal opinion.
