Tulip mania Painting

I was born a researcher who investigates human emotions in a metaphysical and abstract way. I am Svetlana Rezvaya, an artist based in Oslo, Norway. Through my art I express that which does not concern the ecology of the earth, but rather with the ecology of a person. My emotionally expressive compositions are created with the acrylic technique in an abstract expressionist and semi-abstract style and oil in figurative style. I create themes for my creativity via concepts. In the concept "Kaleidoscope of emotions" I present abstract paintings. The concept presentation shows as in an optical instrument, the kaleidoscope, one can observe a series of rapidly changing color patterns on canvases. The colors and compositions change, it depends on my emotions in the painting process. I like to combine painting and drawing that dance and blend with each other on the canvas. In my figurative art I make visible emotions that everyone experiences, but cannot describe in words. In the process of creating works of art, elements can come spontaneously and if it is beautiful, I keep it. And then the painting develops along its own path. Sometimes the paintings can come to me in my dreams. Then it is important in the morning when I wake up to make a sketch. Artistic images visit me when I am in a state between reality and sleep, when I am not yet fully awake but no longer asleep. In paintings I strive to convey feelings of peace, joy and sometimes sadness or movement, hope and renewal. I started my career as an artist when I finished my bachelor's degree in visual arts in 2000. For 26 years I have painted paintings. I exhibit paintings every year both separately and in groups and actively in Oslo. My paintings are in private collections in Norway, Finland, Austria, USA, Russia and Germany.
