In the night garden Painting

Katia Ricci is a visual artist based in Italy dedicated to creating impressionistic paintings full of whimsical charm, vibrant color. https://linktr.ee/katia_ricci_art Story There comes a time in an artist’s life when you think on all that long journey gone as an artist to arrive where you are now. I mentally go back to the lifetime when my father was alive and I realize that I owe everything to him including my artistic abilities. Besides teaching mathematics he was a graphic artist in his free time. He never encouraged me to draw since that could hardly become a source to make my living. That humble man had always considered art as a wonderful escape, never dared to call himself an artist, because Artists were in books, in private collections, museums... like mathematicians or scientists must have had a solid academic basics to practice their profession.... The pencil for him was just a part of harmonious mathematical world.. He knew exactly what he would get hand drawn without using an erasor.. Contrary to him, when approaching a blank canvas I never know so far what will come to life and it's such a thrill.. My daily inspiration comes from what I see around, glimpses into every day things. Primarily I attempt to capture the quintissential aspects of colors and their combinations. I celebrate the color, the Art of creation started from the color and it is everywhere, the only thing to do is to perceive its ever-changing harmonious beauty. My favorite place is near my easel, here my heart beats in a particular way. The main subjects I try to embed in my oils are flowers, birds, landscapes, seascapes. Occasionally I venture into portraiture. All my paintings are signed with my own surname Iourashevich. Ricci is my husband's surname and my art's pseudonym.
