About The Artwork

I can’t deprive the legendary Pink Cadillac of Elvis Presley! A bit of history ... ⠀ The legendary pink "Cadillac-Fleetwood-60" Elvis Presley bought as a gift to his mother. It was a luxurious gesture. Millions of women in America raised their sons with the secret hope that one day they would become rich and famous, like Elvis, and be able to give them the same present. Elvis's mom never had a driver's license. Therefore, the car was driven either by Elvis himself or by members of his group. It is worth noting that it was a legendary car was not always this color. Initially, Cadillac Elvis was black and blue. But since Elvis wanted to present the car as a gift to his mother, he wanted Cadillac to be a more joyful and delicate color. A familiar artist of Elvis Presley, who lived in the neighborhood, suggested repainting Cadillac in pink. He himself developed a unique paint recipe, which he called "Elvis Rose." Today, this Cadillac can be seen at the Auto Museum in Graceland. The legendary pink Cadillac of Elvis Presley was not the first and not the only one with the singer. Before him was still pink and white the very first, Elvis's Cadillac. He served the musicians for about three months, and then one day on the track he suddenly caught fire due to a malfunction of the brake system. The loss of Cadillac was a heavy blow to Elvis. He watched with tears as his pride, his dream, burned in flames. Fortunately, Elvis has yet another opportunity to purchase a luxury car. His collection includes about 1,200 copies.

Svetlana has two distinct passions in life – painting and cars! For many years, she has worn two hats: holding a a degree in graphic design, she has worked as a designer in an corporate environment simultaneously organizing races on the racetrack of St. Petersburg, which led her to travel with the racing team throughout Russia and Europe. During this time, she obtained a certificate in airbrushing, thereby linking her creative and automotive interests. This is how her unique direction in painting has formed. Combining the love for art and cars, she began to focus on the intricate beauty of technology. She saw beauty and sophistication in all sorts of technically complex devices – car engines, cogwheels and other parts, where others only see a perfectly functional mechanism. Now she tries to share her vision with the world and show everyone how beautiful those car mechanisms are... Every artist at least once in his life painted a portrait, and it is through portraiture that one can capture the essence of a person. Svetlana also paints portraits, as each complex mechanism is a portrait of the master who created it, a hidden portrait that is not accessible to everyone... We use cars and other technical devices every day, without even wondering how they work and even more so what they look like. Svetlana has a unique opportunity to know how they look from the inside, thanks to her husband, who brings them back to life after a breakdown. She is a technical portraitist! Today, Svetlana's works are in private collections in Russia, the CIS countries, Finland, Israel, Spain and the USA.
