Self-portrait with a flower - Limited Edition of 100 Artwork

Hi, my name is Clodia. I am an artist and photographer. I first started showing my work on an open platform on instagram. I started my creative path exclusively as a photographer, photography has been with me for a very long time, probably ten years, the ones I remember)) ha ha)). Five years ago I realized that I could no longer hold back my desire to be an artist, so I went to art school. There was an academic education there, we drew a huge amount of still lifes) just a lot ha ha ha)). It was also there at school that I learned how to work in oil, and I fell in love with oil painting in general. Now I consider myself an artist in different genres of techniques and directions. For me anything can be a canvas and paint: when I have a camera it's light and shade, the human body, the whimsical lines of a composition. When I am in front of a computer screen the inner world of a picture is not limited by anything, it is difficult to tame the flow of my inspiration. And working with paints excites me from the very first smell. I associate the smell of oil paint and solvent with the sound of the surf. I've only seen the sea once in my life, when I was ten years old. Then I was first fascinated by the sunset colors, which were reflected in the reflections of light on the waves and the huge size of the sun, where I come from, I had never seen such a huge sun. To this day, shades of yellow and orange are very common in my art. Two years ago my life changed a lot and people started leaving my life. At first I lost my husband and then my friends began to leave. At one point it felt like I was left all alone. It was a very difficult time in my life when I realized that the only thing that can stay with me forever is my inner world. I could express through my art everything that disturbs me and at the same time tell how much I love life. Now I feel that everything is exactly as it should be, I feel like a part of this beautiful World. I am very grateful to have this opportunity with you. Your Clodia)
