Summer night pond Drawing

My name is Lidia I enjoy expressing the world around me through my paintings, and I love putting the reality of everyday life on the canvas using colors and shapes. The purpose of my art is to inspire people to see the hidden beauty in the simplicity of their surroundings. Too often we are waiting for miracles, but forgetting to look right in front of us. There is a lot of beauty in everyday life! In order to notice it, we simply need to pause, look around… and maybe ask yourself a question: what brings richness to my life? As a child, I wanted to become an artist, but I did not. This is not an uncommon story do not go for your dreams. Born and raised in Russia, Siberia, I've spent most of my life working in the corporate world as a lawyer. After more than 15 years of a successful career in Moscow, I made the decision to move to Riga, Latvia in the search of new ways to fulfill my dreams. “If not now, then when?”- I thought. Life is full of challenges anyway”. Latvia is the place where I became inspired by the colorful imagery of my surroundings and completely fell in love with painting. The fall of 2019 has been one of the happiest and most fulfilling falls in my life. My art had an opportunity to travel across the ocean, and to be seen by the eyes of distinguished American viewers. I live in Massachusetts now and continue painting. The main purpose of my creativity is about enjoying the change, as well as anticipating the transformation. Playful, full of colors and flavors, with an overtone of nostalgia, it’s like falling in love with someone new, and knowing your life is about to change.
