"Черный лебедь" Painting

I am an artist Chigodaeva Catherine. I was born and grew up in a beautiful place in the city of Barnaul-Siberia. I have been painting for more than 20 years.I currently live in Moscow. All the years of study studied realistic art and recently began to learn the basics of abstract art. As a result, my own style came out of it - combining two directions. I draw my inspiration from life and everything around me: people, music and nature. The technique in which I make my paintings was acquired by me through experiments. I graduated from the Russian Academy Of painting, Sculpture and Architecture of Ilya Glazunov. Participant of various competitions. Prizewinner of the Moscow Domodedovo Airport and the Darwin Museum. As the winner sent to the open air in Serbia.
