Beauty is always around us Painting

Alexandra Kravchenko (Tarasova) is a Russian painter, graphic artist, master of decorative and applied arts, teacher, member of the Union of Artists of Russia, corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Arts. Now I live and work in Stavropol, the North Caucasus, Russia. The main activity is the creation of paintings at the studio and plein air painting in different parts of our country. I participate in regional, all-Russian and foreign exhibitions and projects. My works are in both Russian and foreign museum collections, and in private collections as well. I often create landscapes, abstract compositions to order. The main idea of art is the exploration of life in its diversity - either beautiful or unusual faces of people, the urban scenery in graphic or pictorial technique. On my own time free from my creative work, I teach my students painting, graphics, sketching individually.
