Fertilis Original Art Butterfly red white abstract Expressionism Painting

Welcome to my page. My name is Olga Minina. I am a self-taught artist. I was born in 1973 and live in Russia. My profession - a lawyer, to which I have devoted many years, served as an impetus for me to express my ideas in paintings. One of the qualities of a real lawyer is inner freedom: freedom from conventions, other people's opinions, frameworks imposed by society, without which it is impossible to realize his main purpose - to defend the rights and freedoms of other people. Therefore, the main theme in my work is the theme of freedom. Freedom is the main value in this world. And I want to pass it on to others. The second topic that began to interest me as I grew creatively is the relationship between people and the psychology of personality, because my profession allowed me to study psychology well. In my opinion, images allow people to think more deeply about the meaning of the author's statement than words. I've always liked double meanings and non-obvious answers to simple questions. I am an artist with varied interests and talents. I am attracted by everything new and unknown. I write in oils, acrylics, dry and oil pastels, pencils, watercolors. I love mixed techniques. I take art very seriously and use it as a means of expressing my ideas about the modern world and emotions on canvas. In my opinion, images allow people to think more deeply about an author's statement than words. I have always liked double meanings and non-obvious answers to simple questions, I like to excite the minds of people, to encourage them to think. I am constantly learning: studying the history of art, acquiring new skills in painting. I participate in international exhibitions of contemporary art. And I'm not going to stop. I believe that I have sufficient potential to take my niche in contemporary art. An interesting fact is that there are a lot of lawyers among famous artists. Henri Matisse, Wassily Kandinsky, Mikhail Vrubel and many others. And this is not casual. Scientists have found that people who can think creatively are intellectuals. It was not for nothing that Albert Einstein noted that "creativity is the entertainment of the intellect." Thank you for your attention to my work.
