About The Artwork

Painting at the exhibition. My friends gave me a frame from an old stucco molding. (I don't know where they got her) She stood empty for a long time and prevented me from living. Once I thought: I need to draw something for this frame, then this frame will be useful. But what can be framed in such an old frame? Still life in the style of small Dutch people or a ceremonial Portrait? To imitate the old masters seemed to me the past. I decided to joke. Let it be a ceremonial portrait with a cat. There is a lady with an ermine, and I will have a lady with a cat. But a cat is not an ermine. Cats consider themselves the center of the universe. They come and fall on your books when you read. They trample on your keyboard when you need to work. They come out in frames when you take a selfie. And they scratch the furniture, turn their tail to your face and do much more. All cats do this. I sell this painting without a frame, because the frame is very heavy and will greatly increase the shipping cost. But if you want to purchase this artwork in the original frame, then write to me.

I was born in Minsk, Belarussian SSR. I draw ever since I remember myself. I admire ethnographic art of various origins; also the works of Belarusian primitivist Alena Kish, who's quite not known to the world. My artistic inspirations are Ciurlionis, Saryan, Petrov-Vodkin, Kent, along with many others. I used to work with oil and pastel, lately I prefer tempera and acrylic matte - for their great decorative properties, velvety finish upon drying, vivid colours, etc. I am aspired by travel and learning, fascinated with ethnography, mythology and philosophy. My spheres of interest are folk traditions and cultures. I write poetry, eager to cooperate, curious, tend to change locations. I dream of a motor home-studio - to be able to travel and draw. Currently I reside in Minsk - but not for long, I guess... Родилась в Минске. Рисовала всегда, сколько себя помню. Восхищаюсь этнографическим искусством разных народов, творчеством белорусской примитивистки Алены Киш - про которую в мире ничего не известно. На становление меня как художника повлияли работы Чюрлениса, Сарьяна, Петрова-Водкина, Кента и многих других. Работала в техниках масляной живописи и пастели. Последние годы предпочитаю темперу и матовый акрил за их декоративные свойства, бархатистую поверхность при высыхании, яркие цвета и прочее. Вдохновение черпаю в путешествиях и познании нового. Увлекаюсь этнографией, мифологией и философией. Интересуюсь традициями и культурами разных народов. Пишу стихи. Открыта для сотрудничества, любопытна, склонна к смене мест проживания. Мечтаю о мастерской-доме на колесах, чтобы иметь возможность ездить по миру и рисовать. В настоящее время проживаю в Минске - однако полагаю, что это ненадолго...
