Challenge Painting

I was born to paint. I paint for a living, I live because I am an artist. A teacher once said to me, ‘You are talented, but you need to make a choice: between having a family and being an artist’. Without any hesitation, I answered - I would have both. Now, I have 10 wonderful children, a man I love and I have created more than 600 paintings over the course of 8 years. My work is bought by women like me: women who do not want to give up opportunities; women who do not want to have to choose between the happiness of being a mother and the happiness found in art - they buy my paintings when they awaken and shake off the oppression of old traumas. My paintings energise, through the colour and joy interwoven throughout. My paintings are bought by women when they are immersed in the task of self-improvement. The whales from my paintings, that once carried me on their backs from such deep immersion and gave me strength, now pass this strength on and inspire others to believe in themselves. My paintings are bought by women who have reconciled and accepted themselves, learned to love and be the conduits of love. There is a philosophy, an ideology and a flow of transforming energy in my paintings and verses to them. My paintings are bought all over the world, not only as objects of beauty or interior decoration but also as a working tool, a portal that gives a person access to the blind areas of self. My paintings are always an energy resource always an answer to an internal question. I am happy. Because I am a conduit of love, I give love through my paintings, and I serve people through them. I see that as the mission of an artist, his or her destiny. I use acrylic and oil on canvas and prefer large sizes and monumental painting. My style is synthetic, I work with colour in the impressionist style and symbolism is integral to the images I create. I am a composer because working with abstractions is the highest manifestation of my ability to express a feeling and to realise an idea through associative visualisation. I sell my paintings through my blog on Facebook and Instagram, where I have an audience of over 12000 people, mostly Russian speaking though. Recently I realised that I am ready to work on more complex projects. I also want my paintings to be presented to a wider range of people in the English speaking world. That is why I was attracted by the Saatchi platform. It is a global virtual gallery with the best way of promoting artists work.
