"The Inner Gaze" Painting

Hello. My name is Svitlana Melnychuk. I am an artist. My purpose is to create beauty and give it to people. It's something that brings incredible pleasure to life, it's something that makes me wake up in the morning and smile. Go to work with joy and inspiration. I do what I love!
I went a long way to this point, looking for my destination. I knew exactly what I didn't want to do, but I didn't know what to do every day and all my life. During my first pregnancy, I felt a very strong desire to learn to paint with oil paintings, such as real artists write on canvas. Before that, as a child, I graduated from art school, which instilled in my soul an interest in art. I was lucky, I started studying with a very talented artist, art critic, philosopher Edward Millar. For 10 years I honestly studied the basics of painting, drawing, anatomy and composition.
In 2017, I opened my "Creative Workshop". This place is incredible for me. There I feel happy. In the workshop I teach for children and adults, and also conduct master classes for people who are trying to paint a picture for the first time. These words of gratitude and their happy eyes inspire me even more to this work. Only an artist can understand what an artist feels when he paints a picture. It's a time that stops, there's only he canvas and paint.
My main theme of creativity is to appeal to people with the call that each of us has a chance to become and be happy in every second of life. This is not positive thinking, but deep work on ourselves. All you need to do is believe in it and act in that direction. The meaning of life is to do everything with love! This is a simple recipe for happiness. So my works are coded reminders to the viewer! Stop, remember, everything is possible, everything is fine. You are here and now!
