5 o’clock Tea with Alice Painting

My name is Svetlana and I would like to tell you a little about myself. All my life I was fond of drawing and doing crafts. I'm more of a graphic artist than a painter. I often work on the borderline, mixing all sorts of techniques, preferring water-based paints such as tempera, watercolor, ink, acrylic and varnish. Deep inside me am I a storyteller and often live I in my fantasy worlds. It's always exciting to create a new world and put oneself on this way in a special state of inspiration. I also love working with wood and textiles, mixing old and new materials: rough, sea-worn and shiny new, glass and metal, wood and yarn... and create a unique picture that sometimes becomes an angel, sometimes a bear or a dwarf. I also like to mix archetypes from different cultures: often contain my works sun signs, runes and protection symbols from pre-Christian times. You can also call my wooden sculptures amulets, talismans or charms, which are supposed to bring luck. My life is based on creativity in all its forms and I am happy to share with you everything I have seen, created, imagined or reinvented.
