Nelya Mihneva

I am a painter, who shows in the art works different emotions: from silent tenderness of the oil paints sounding as a water colours picture ("Morning kisses") to rough passions ("Colours of passion"). Critics often call my works as musical and poetical and notice sensuality and sexuality in them.
I was born in South Ural and I belong to the small volk which name is bashkort.
I lived in Russia, Bulgaria, Germany. Now I spend the most part of my time in Turkey.
I travel much. Impressions of my trips reflect on my canvases.
Subjects of my pictures are different. An exciting decline, mysterious beauty of the ancient Indian sculpture, a peacock walking in a Macedonian monastry...
Flowers... Magic music of the nature...
I yet do not know which is the theme of my next picture...
