Girl with peonies and a bird Print

I grew up and work in the beautiful Ukrainian city of Odessa. Perhaps this is what influenced the abundance of sunny bright colors in my painting. My main source of inspiration are emotions and impressions that are shaped by the aesthetics of nature, architecture, music and painting. I have been drawing since childhood. After my childhood experiments of painting flowers with my mother's eyeshadows, my "creative search" was redirected to a music school. But at the age of sixteen, I still enter the university at the design department. After four years, I receive a Bachelor of Arts qualification. A year later, the qualification of a graphic designer. And three years later, after graduating from graduate school, I am writing a thesis dedicated to the illustration and design of children's books. At this time, I already had experience in organizing exhibitions and, as a participant, received positive reviews from critics. During the period, the influence of impressionism and the masters of impasto, relief painting was already traced. That formed the modern manner of distributing paints with a pronounced textural stroke. My works are also filled with some illustrativeness and an abundance of bright colors, which I associate with joy and warmth. My instagram www.instagram.com/elinazelenaya
