Portrait of young woman with cat Painting

My name is Galina and I 'm an artist. I was 6 years old, I was sitting on the floor with colored crayons, and I drew and on TV there was a film about the artist and I couldn't get off the screen, and when the film ended I screamed at the whole house: Mother, when I grow up, I will be an artist! Since then I've been drawing every day, it's my life and my biggest love! To come to my dream I studied for a long time, first art school, then 5 years art university, I tried to know the mystery of fine art and learn to transfer my feelings to canvas. Painting for me is always an experiment, an experiment with color, a form and texture. I get great pleasure from the search for color harmony, I am not afraid of bright color and contrasting combinations, it gives joy to life, emotional heat. We live in a complex, pragmatic world and painting helps me and my viewers to return to the present with feelings and experiences and that is my purpose! My teachers I consider such classics as Chagall, Matisse,Cezanne, Kandinsky I will be endlessly glad if my creativity brings someone a piece of happiness and beauty!
