Koi Painting

Hello friends! My name is Lena Aleksandrova. I am an architect and artist from Moscow. My work is very varied. I paint with oils, acrylics, watercolors, felt-tip pens and even colored pencils. The themes of my work are no less varied. I paint landscapes, flower still lifes and koi carps (my little weakness). I came up with my own style of painting. It is made up reality art. In paintings of this style, objects are depicted and look more real than they really are. This effect is achieved through volumetric lines and shadows. The main thing in the style of made up reality art is not the accuracy of the image of the form, but the accuracy of the image. The specificity of the style lies not only in enhanced realism, but also in the minimalism of the image. The artist uses literally several colors for one painting. Artists use this style in order to express the accuracy of the emotional form of the object, and as a result, to evoke the viewer's sensations from it. That is why the object is depicted super-realistic.
