Araripe manakin. Little Soldier bird Painting

A painting is a melody that plays with the sounds of emotions and beauty in our head and heart. To me, each painting is a piece of life - a life that lives on its own, on its own terms. You start from a blank canvas, and like creating music sound-by-sound, you add each new brushstroke, each new color, creating harmony, beauty, and a new experience for a mind to absorb. From the chaos of emotions and imagination, a new balance is born in each painting. I am Galina Vasiljeva, a full-time artist. Originally I am from Lithuania, now I live and create in sunny Cyprus. I have completed my art education in Klaipeda, Lithuania. Since that day, I haven't stop experimenting, trying out new ideas, and improving, letting my imagination guide me. My paintings are mainly inspired by nature, architecture, and everyday life. To create my paintings I use my technique based on the knowledge of the techniques of old masters and our contemporaries. I participate in competitions and exhibitions. I travel a lot and I try to transfer the beauty I see around the world onto the canvas. My works are made with oil paint and acrylic on canvas, applied with palette knives and brushes. I like to share this life with others, bringing it into their homes. Through my paintings, I want to give happiness, confidence, strength, and the beauty of the world surrounding us. So that everyone can enjoy their lives.
