Antonina Banderova

Hi there! My name is Antonina.
My journey with art started at a young age. After obtaining degrees in graphic design and fine arts I was working as a designer in sports industry. Over the years I went through learning and practicing many different mediums and techniques.

In 2016 my husband and I immigrated to Canada, a country so rich of beautiful and endless landscapes and seascapes that it became an unending inspiration for my work.

Soon after we settled we became parents to our beautiful daughter Alice. Since then, between learning how to be a parent and discovering what it means to be Canadian, I dedicate every spare moment to painting.

The love for colours, textures, movements and all different forms nature has to offer are playing a big role in my latest works as an inspiration. My paintings reflect emotions and state of mind that I experience while adventuring through Canada. Last year me and my family moved from BC to Alberta, since then my works have diversified with mountain landscapes. However, west coast landscapes will always have a special place in her heart.

The time I do spend painting is a small window of calm and peace from the hectic life which helps me to listen to my heart and create what it desires.
