Pink Peony by Natalia Bessonova 24X18 Acrylic on Canvas Painting

My name is Natalia Bessonova. I was born in Russia in Volga River Region. Majority of my life I spent in my adoptive hometown of St.Petersburg, which I love very much. That very impressive city helped me to became an artist. I learned from it, I met some very interesting people there. I moved to USA in 2002 and continued painting here. I go to NYC a lot, so I can visit museums and exhibitions to keep up with art news. I sold numerous paintings to private collectors in the United States, France, UK and Germany. I do commissioned works as well. I love arts and design, I like to experiment with different materials, textures, colors, shapes. I like to paint human mood.. "Painting is just another way of keeping a diary"- Pablo Picasso. This is the language I am speaking on my works and communicating with the outside world. Art is a life style for me and I can not imagine doing anything else.
