Woman in red turban Painting

My name is Darya. In childhood, a love for drawing was born. As a teenager, she began taking her first orders. Usually, these were acquaintances who wanted portraits of their relatives or other compositions. She devoted almost 12 years to studying different techniques, materials and tools for writing works. I don't have a higher education, but I think it's not bad. Uniqueness in the artist, I think one of the main things that define the artist. I always pursued honing my techniques, but I realized that an artist is not just someone who can draw, but someone who feels this world through the prism of shapes and colors. My uniqueness is that I do not pursue what is now fashionable in art. And despite the fact that I do not have a higher education, I rely on my feelings and use almost 18 years of experience to create my works. Most often I paint portraits and not small scales.Basically, I paint in realism, decorating my work with light abstraction using a palette knife technique. I love to paint long pictures. I like the process itself, it allows me to immerse myself in the story. Each new session is a new day and new emotions, who knows how these emotions will affect the work today? Each picture is a separate substance with its own vestigial feelings. In other words, I want to say that the paintings are my little children who grow and develop with me. I love watching these children change, which means that I myself am changing. Development has always been an important part of my life. I intend to move on.
