Svetlana Kompel

I come from a family of artists- my father is an artist and sculptor and my mother creates wonderful ikons using semi precious stones and pearls. Growing up in this creative atmosphere my path was already chosen..

When I had graduated University I worked as designer, and 3 years after this I created my own Photo Studio and realised a lot of art projects with other talented photographers.

In my work, I convey emotions with colours, as my thinking is that each colour carries a charge of energy. I paint things that are created by nature itself - horses, birds, creatures filled with grace. But the most important subject in my work are people. Beauty, perfection (or beauty in imperfection), fullness of a wide palette of feelings and emotions, which, conveyed with paints, finds a response in the soul of the buyer of the painting.

I work as a full-time artist in Italy. Before this I lived for many years in St. Petersburg, a wonderful place which influenced my art work in past. Now the beauty of Italy inspires me every day for new creations.
