Flowers and mask Painting

The path of my creativity was guided by my grandmother who never could draw. Since I was a little girl I was an extremely whiny child. I lived just with my grandma and she always looked for all the possible methods to calm me down. And one day she sat down and drew a little man, just circles and sticks. I was really amazed how one of such absolutely scattered elements formed a little man. Grandma never knew how to draw but from that day I started. And I practically stopped whining. My art is not about pre-thought things, it's more intuitive and emotional. I make it up as I go along as people who sing and select words on the go, all about what they see around them. I re-sing with paints and strokes in my own way. I rarely explain what is depicted in the picture as it speaks to the viewer by itself. I am a very introverted artist. I often go into some kind of fractality, I like to go deeper and deeper into the lines, through the lines. This is my handwriting and my recognition. I am not trying to convey the authenticity of things. Only a small detail. It's like Kurt Vonnegut and his magical realism where the whole Universe can hold just on a small piece. The light and the shadow around me play an important role in my creation. But the most important inspiration is music. Music often shapes the whole plot and mood of the picture. I would like the viewer looking at my picture feels a hidden meaning, an unrevealed subtext. Each viewer can draw something of his own from the details in his imagination. I often experiment, I use acrylic, oil, ink, gouache. I also love collage works. I am not a plein air artist and I do not like to stand for hours painting landscapes. I look as if into a gleam of reality and depict them through abstract art. I look for more in every spot, every crack, and then develop a whole story out of them. Now I have moved to a new sunny and spacious workshop. And I have very big plans for new paintings and new experiments. From 1.08.2016 in the asset of the Union of Artists of Ukraine.
