"Rainy New York" Painting

My name is Gulnara, I was born and live in the most beautiful capital of sunny Uzbekistan - Tashkent. My country is located in the heart of Central Asia and is famous for its rich culture, national traditions, cuisine and architecture. In Uzbekistan, you can find unique nature, high mountains, plains, forests and lakes. That’s probably why I've always found beauty and inspiration in everything around me since I was a child.

I've never been indifferent to art. I have always found beauty and inspiration in everything that surrounds me. I remember the first time when I received my first pencils as a gift from my father. It gave me an overwhelming sense of happiness and elation, because now I had the opportunity to capture my emotions and feelings on paper. I could spend all day painting everything I saw around me and it made me really happy.
A little later, already in my teens, I began to draw under the guidance of my teacher. Even before entering the university, I was already seriously interested in painting, starting to learn new drawing techniques and methods of working with different materials for painting (watercolor, acrylic, oil and other types of paint). However, at the time, it was a way for me to express myself, but nothing more.
In the future, my love and passion for drawing and the architecture of my country influenced my choice of profession and I became an architect after graduating from the Tashkent Institute of Architecture and Civil Engineering. During my studies at the university, I was very interested and pleased with my studies, work and family, and drawing took a back seat.

However, a couple of years ago I realized that I was missing painting in my life. At first I started sketching, but soon I started drawing full-fledged paintings.
My life began to play with new bright colors. I noticed, that in the process of creating paintings, I am filled with energy and I can convey my mood, emotions and positive feelings on the canvas with the help of color.
I am very happy that I have found my vocation and now I can share my art with you, decorating your world.
