ABOUT THE ARTWORK

When I first came to a yoga class the instructor told us to close our eyes and listen to the silence inside ourselves. I did not have a clear idea then how to do this and what kind of silence I had within myself. And where exactly is was. It's been more than 10 years since then. And when I get seated to listen to my silence I understand what a great bliss and relaxation it is. I realize how important it is to find time for myself amidst the hustle and bustle and multitasking. Just to sit down and listen to my silence. Close my eyes. Focus on my breathing. Imagine that breathing is waves. A wave is rolling in and out. A slight movement of the ocean inside you. Like scuba diving into the depths. And let there be a storm outside, a party, fun or grief. Each of us has our own SEA and SILENCE inside, rocking us gently over the waves. A place where we can hear our heartbeat. A whisper of a dream. The voice of the real Me. Painting: When I Feel Sad I Listen to the Sea. It says that all the answers are within us. It's important to take time to look deep inside yourself, in order to hear them. When I Feel Sad I Listen to the Sea. Watercolor. Print available for sale.

EXPERIENCE 2007- 2015 - Project development manager at women's clothing wholesale company: purchase of clothing collections and its promotion. 2008- 2014 - Lecturer at Saint Petersburg State Marine Technical University. Painting came into my life along with a personal tragedy. My baby son was born prematurely, due to which he lost his eyesight and acquired numerous health issues. It was then when I picked up a paint brush. Thus, at the age of 32, I discovered the gift of drawing in myself. My son and I went through 16 surgeries in the first 6 years of his life. During that time, I made over 100 paintings. I managed to promote my blog on Instagram from scratch reaching over 9,000 followers. Today, I cannot help but paint. The stories that I call "fairy tales" keep popping up in my imagination - I barely make time to transfer them to the canvas. Before, I had no idea that despite what is happening in the real world, it is in the artist’s power to create worlds of his or her own by means of sheer creativity. And there can be as many of those worlds as the artist desires. Such worlds are capable of curing not only the artist, but other people as well. My artistic reality is free from stereotypes, borders, and limitations. I paint characters with bottomless eyes, reflecting in their pain of the past, inner strength of the present and faith in the future. I write a kind-hearted fairy tale with a philosophical undertone to accompany each painting. Through the fairy tales, I enhance the nature of my characters and give emotions, touching the soul of the viewer. My favorite paints are watercolor and acrylic. For me, watercolor is like a lace pattern design, each layer of which resembles the petals of a delicate flower. Watercolor is unforgiving for mistakes. This is what constitutes its specialty and strength. Acrylic is a way for me to communicate with my subconscious. I paint images that form out of the colored spots of paint layers on the canvas. I never come up with a subject beforehand, completely confiding in the creative flow. Therefore, the paintings turn out to be strikingly honest, whereas sincere art will always find a way to the heart of the viewer.
