Anastasia Volkonskaya

As a child, I studied at an art school for 5 years. It was not easy to study. At that time in Russia, drawing was taught very strictly and uninteresting, especially for a 10-year-old child. Much attention was paid to academic drawing. So when I graduated from this school, I told my parents that I would never pick up a pencil or brush in my life. And I finished drawing completely, as I thought. But life, one way or another, still pushed me with creativity. My paintings are my inner world, my experiences. I feed on the world around me, look at it and admire it, whatever it is. When I paint, I exchange energy with my paintings, trying to convey the emotions that I received earlier. For me, this is a bright and intimate moment. I will be happy if my work brings happiness to someone else.
