SMILE-2 Painting

VML - original tandem of creative artists: Maria Lipovskaya and Vadim Lipovskiy Architects by education, family by life and creators by vocation, we are engaged in the production of non-trivial paintings. Hello. My name is Maria Lipovskaya. I was born and raised in the capital of Belarus in a family of architects and artists. Since childhood, I have been surrounded by paintings, projects, handmade things. All my life I have lived in an atmosphere of passion for all kinds of art. I graduated from the Faculty of Architecture of BNTU and tried myself in all creative directions. I had a freedom that I didn't know what to do with. I went a long and winding path to myself, many times experiencing the collapse of all my foundations: leaving the profession, moving from city to village, living in Spartan conditions, constantly searching for some meaning, long roads leading nowhere, eternal alienation. Easily becoming one's own among strangers, I forever remained a stranger among them. And here I am, and I no longer need a sign that I'm on the right track. I found what I was looking for... In 2021, my first painting was born, and everything was different. Thanks to painting, I found the best thing I have - the lack of self-worth. All my life I have been immersed in myself, but now I look at the world, which is undoubtedly bigger, more complex, more beautiful. I dissolve in it, weightless, and there are many of me, endlessly. I can feel this world and speak back through my paintings. I have reached the possibility of true self-expression. Now past values are not important, I am light and can fly. Come up with interesting ideas, compose new meanings, discover unknown worlds...I like to create ground for ambiguous opinion. We live in 8 billion parallel universes because reality is the truth of every beholder. Hello. My name is Lipovsky Vadim. I was born in the outback of Belarus and grew up among simple and understandable things, far from art. I was very crowded in this little world and I expanded my boundaries with literature. Books filled my inner world with vivid images and experiences that I could not express. Until I came to books about art. I was inspired by the paintings of Nicholas Roerich, Salvador Dali and Gustav Klimt. Having received a profession, he worked as an architect, designer, and was engaged in outdoor advertising. Most of the time he specialized in 3D modeling. I have always liked working with volume.
