Night fragrance XI Painting

Ludmila Budanov was born in Russia. She is a professional musician having studied music composition in Tallinn, Estonia, therefore it is important for her to capture the rhythm, tonality and tempo of music with a brush on canvas. Having lived in Cyprus for many years Budanov is also inspired by the sea and the underwater landscapes and often her abstract paintings are inspired by the underwater flowers known as actinian. Her unique and spontaneous oil paintings are always executed in bold or pastel colors that bleed into one another as if they have been submerged in water. However, Budanov has also found that the world, in its current predicament, is too harsh and dark and wanted to create artwork that would make anyone content even in the darkest of days. It doesn't presume anything, it just is.
