"Magnolia Bloom Acrylic Painting - 11x14 Pink Floral Canvas Art" Fine Art Print

Luba Kholov is a New York–based artist working primarily in watercolor. She is also an avid birdwatcher and tree lover. Rooted in a deep connection to nature, her paintings balance clarity with impressionistic softness. Born and raised in a Russian village, Kholov continues to draw inspiration from the natural world of her childhood. A self-taught artist, she began developing her drawing skills in 2015.

Beyond her artistic practice, Kholov is a multifaceted creative. After relocating to New York City in 2006, she became a yoga teacher, integrating mindfulness into her creative process. In 2014, she wrote the novel The Road to My Calling, weaving together stories of yoga, nature, and art. During the pandemic, she spent time in the Pocono Mountains, Pennsylvania, where she expanded her creative horizons by writing poetry. This period reinforced her appreciation for balancing the dynamic energy of urban life with nature’s tranquility.

Now residing in Brooklyn, NY, with her husband and son, Kholov continues to explore the interplay between nature and urban environments in her art. Her vibrant work aims to create serene oases amid the city’s hustle. Her approach blends careful observation with poetic interpretation, echoing the pictorial language of John James Audubon through a fusion of detail and emotional resonance.
