Anna Bolkhovska

Self-taught artist. Like all children i used to paint a lot, but I didn't think of becoming a professional artist. I only attended a couple of private lessons with a friend of mine, but never studied painting professionally. As a teenager, new facets of the world began to open up - I began to get involved in literature and culture in its various manifestations. And then one day, in a creative impulse, I decided to buy oil paints and paint a picture, I felt like a novice master. So I painted several canvases in one period of time, including which are not presented here, because they were gifted. Through my paintings, I want to convey the beauty of various details of this world and the state of my own soul at the time of the painting. I'm also obsessed with the process of mixing colours and applying layer by layer. When creating a new work, I never know what awaits me at the end - I have an initial idea, but I always entrust my hands to the will of randomness and spontaneity. So the process of painting can be compared for me with some kind of religious sacrament. So far, nature plots play a leading role in my work, as the most primary topic for me, but I will still experiment with different styles and plots.
