Still life with marigolds Painting

Hi! My name is Elena. I'm a professional artist. I graduated Bogolyubov's Art School. I'm a bearer of the traditions of the Saratov school of painting. This school includes such artists as Petrov-Vodkin, Borisov-Musatov, Kuznetsov, Utkin, Karev. I'm also an experienced salesperson. I approach sales responsibly,use quality materials and meet deadlines. I was born in Russia in 1990. I started drawing when I was a child. At school teachers noticed my ability,but my family believed that an artist is not a prestigious profession.So my hobby was not funded.On the advice of my parents, I went to university and studied mathematics for five years.It was a difficult time for me. I felt that I was taking someone else's place, I hated this study. As a result, I became very ill.In the end, I insisted on my own and entered the art school.I was in my fourth year when my family got into trouble and I had to drop out.I had nowhere to live and urgently needed money. I worked in several places to make money. And I dreamed that someday I would return to my way. Five years later, I was able to graduate from art school. And now I am sharing my work with you. I'm a multifaceted complex person and this is reflected in my work. I work in different styles and techniques. If these are oil paints, then I paint spontaneously, boldly, freely. I like the volumetric texture, the feeling of air in the picture. At the same time, I like to work with graphics, work out small details, emphasize plastic, convey the mood not only with color, but also with the shape of the lines. I love nature and often portray this in my works. I like to experiment and often work in mixed media. Often I leave the unprimed canvas to give my work a liveliness. Everyone will find something to their liking in my gallery.
