Hello! My name is Svetlana! I was born in Kharkov(the largest city in eastern Ukraine). Before devoting myself to painting, I had a productive life working in the business world. In painting I am interested in the problems of interaction of the internal and external, flat and volume, light and shadow. I believe that one of the purposes of painting is to convey inner beauty through an external form. Ideas for my work often arise from everyday things, I try to create in my pictures a mood (joy, appeasement) or to cause long forgotten memories. I love what I do, and in every picture I try to put a piece of this love.
