3D decorative wall art Powertex mermaid sculpture "NIXIE on the ROCK" Epoxy resin Mixed technique Installation

Hello dear visitors and guests of my store, let's get acquainted! My name is Violetta Pavlenko, I am very creative and artistic person and this with me from my birth. I was born into a large family and I was fortunate to be the oldest of seven children. This gave me a tremendous experience and love for children, which later led to getting a pedagogical education. Later while working in a kindergarten, and living in Ukraine by the will of fate, I could create right at work in a kindergarten with beautiful kids, right at my workplace. My career in arts began with creating toys and dolls for kids. I gradually grew and learned passing from one level to another. Starting with textile dolls and toys, I wanted to learn how to work with clay, and I succeeded! Learning to create statuette dolls seemed like a great victory to me. I was happy. But later, I came to even greater delight when I finished my first boudoir doll. I think you will agree, it is truly magical when in your hands the clay turns into something very familiar, filled with life and beauty.Felting toys and dolls, wet felting stoles and shoes, and woolen watercolor paintings. I worked a lot on orders and sold my works in our small town of Nikolaev in the south of Ukraine. After that, the children told me that it was time to push the boundaries, and I went to my first exhibition in 2014 in Kiev. "Fashion Doll" is the largest and most significant exhibition in Ukraine, which takes place twice a year. My works have been published in "Fashion Doll" magazine, and were also presented in internal competitions. Year after year, the exhibitions were successful, and in 2016 I was offered to place several works in an international magazine about the most beautiful dolls from our country. Later, by the will of fate, in 2017, our whole family moved to live in Poland in the beautiful city Wroclaw. This country opened up a new stage in art for me, I learned about Powertex fabric hardener and how to create sculptures with it. Angels and girls seem to be made of bronze or stone, made by your own hands from just fabric - is this not a delightful? Also in Poland, I got acquainted with epoxy resin and decoupage technique. Using all these techniques, except for their intended use, I have always created paintings. But just picking up a brush and starting to paint a picture seemed impossible to me. And now the day has come.
