"Still life with yellow roses" 2 Painting

Self taught artist from Ukraine, and lived there nearly all my life. And I did not know that I would become an artist. Everyone has gifts from the Creator. For me, painting is the most life affirming thing to do. I am painter, capturing for you what captivates me about people, places and things I see at home, around Country and on my travels. I describe the beauty of the world, I believe that there will be no more wars in the world and people will just enjoy life and beauty. My paintings are filled with sunlight and love of nature! Their mission is to bring light and joy to your home. Inspired by the flowers, light, colors, sounds and smells of nature, I collect all the best and translate it into my art My husband offered me a trip to Paris. When I saw the city of dreams and lovers, streets and museums, the delicious smell of bakeries and perfume shops, the Montmartre artists quarter, I fell in love with it even more. Returning home, I began to paint. Paris sketches were my first works. That is, my activity as an artist is only 6 years old. My direction in painting is realism and my work includes both realistic landscapes and flowers and abstract designs. I believe it is the duty of each to share our gifts with the planet. I choose materials every day according to my mood. When I want to paint, first of all, I´m listening inside, trying to find out my feelings, my mood and then I pick up brushes or pastels, or coloured pencils. My creating process is based on my emotions and my mood. I'm very spontaneous. Today I might use photography to convey my feelings...tomorrow I might paint to express myself. My work is infused with spirit and energy I felt at the moment I created it. I love the sky and the clouds very much and teach my grandchildren to see the beauty of the world. I started with acrylic (Parisian sketches, gouache - Ukrainian sketches on wood, oil - flowers and still lifes, nature, and for two years I have been painting flowers, nature, embankments, animals, colored pencils - flowers, still lifes). I never studied the art of drawing, it´s all self-study. I like to create a warm, cosy and positive atmosphere to bring people pleasure in life. I love bright colors that create a desire to live. My art evokes different feelings in the audience depending on their individual experiences and memories. I was and continue to be inspired by the beauty of the world around me and can spent hours to explore it.
