Vanina Datsova

I am passionate about drawing and painting anything that catches my eye, whether it's a charming scene outside my flat or portraits that capture love and happiness. I believe in the philosophy of "less is more," often leaving my artwork free of excessive details to let the essence of the subject shine through. I find the effects of oil pastels on watercolor paper mesmerizing, with their vibrant textures and dynamic interplay. The random yet controlled brushstrokes of watercolor paint fascinate me, creating an organic, fluid beauty that enhances my artistic expression.
