Cleopatra the Egyptian Queen Painting

I was born in a dynasty of artists in 1961. As far as I remembered myself in my childhood I drew and painted. I thought that everybody could draw. I finished The Art School in 1978.After graduated from Volgograd State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering I worked as an architect , then as a designer .To my regret I didn't pick up a brush for 30 years till October 2020. Now coming back to fineart I understand how much time was lost. I focus on figurative paintings mostly woman's images trying to discover the inner beauty of a woman, the depth of her soul . My works address universal themes : love, honour, purity . I use multi-layered oil painting techniques of Renaissance Old Masters, prefer painting in hyper-realistic style. My works are made using high quality materials .
