Karaburun Bay. Expressive landscape.Realism Painting

My name is Valentina Can and I am a professional artist from Turkey. Creativity is my life. My style is expressive abstraction in oil and acrylics, I am also passionate about interior painting, I need it to reboot and find new knowledge. I am inspired by nature, so I paint landscapes, flowers and still life. I am constantly working and creating new paintings. Never standing still, constantly evolving and learning new techniques. I like to try the latest materials, as well as traditional ones, mix, work with relief paste and volume. I keep all the ideas in my head, I carry them for a long time, make sketches, collect photo material, but the moment I start working, the idea mixes with the mood and a picture is born; often I work alla prima. My favorite artist is Claude Monet, I am inspired by the feeling of air and color. I am also inspired by abstract expressionism, the works of Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko. I draw inspiration from the works of Kandinsky, Kooning, Mondrian and, of course, Monet and Van Gogh, as well as from emerging contemporary artists whose works I often look at on social networks and online galleries.
