Nia Snezhana Botenovskaya

My name is Snezhana Botenovskaya. I come from Belarus but for the last three years I’ve been living in Barcelona and here people started to call me Nia to avoid suffering to pronounce my original name:). Since I can remember myself I was charmed by people's faces. Starting to draw a new portrait I was losing connection with reality and dipped into the process of searching for those magic features that make every person’s face unique and inimitable. I haven’t had official art education.
I fell in love with a collage technique in 2013 since took a big piece of carton, made a sketch looking at my favorite photo on the Tower Bridge where I look so happy and started to “paint” with the paper pieces. And I saw a magic – little details of different shapes and colors make the entire image!
