I am especially attracted to the portrait genre. When working on a portrait
(regardless of the age and gender of the model), I always want to tell and show the
content of the image, the inner life of the model. I think that each of us thinks
about the fragility and transience of life, this is what I want to talk about in my
portraits.
I think that the concept of the Beautiful is always subjective. For me, the
beautiful can be in works of art, which some may repulse. For example, I
am a big fan of the work of Egon Schiele. I am attracted to art by bright
expressive content, dressed in trowels, created by a talented form. I really
love antique painting of the 15th - 16th centuries. Since almost all works of
art of that time are based on religious subjects, she is always filled with
passion. The best known examples, such as Bosch's paintings, are
amazing in terms of mastery of color, light and composition.
For me, creativity is a way to tell the World that I exist, to tell about my thoughts,
feelings, about my attitude to events and people. I want my works to stop viewers
and evoke thoughts and feelings similar to those that I experienced in the process
of creating them. It is very important for me to feel community with people close
to me. Perhaps this is my main goal of Creativity - to establish and feel these
connections.
I've been engaged in photography for about 7 years. This happened, in my opinion,
accidentally (although in any chance there is a regularity). My husband was fond
of photography long before our meeting. Our acquaintance happened when he
invited me to pose for a portrait. So in my life came love and photography. When a
person is passionate about something, he wants to share his passion with people
close to him. So my husband gave me his old camera and began to teach me to take
pictures. Firstly, it seemed to me a rather boring occupation. But gradually I went
deep into the photo area and saw that the photo is not just a click of the camera and
the appearance of a picture that corresponds to reality, but a very creative,
individual and in many ways intimate process. I began to look, see the work of
artists close to me.
I've always loved drawing. But it so happened that parents in my early childhood gave me to study music, and this is the lesson I devoted most of my life. However,
the love of painting left me. When a photo entered my life, I realized that I can
draw with the camera. The camera helps me to compensate for the lack of
professional skills in painting and realize my dream with the help of photography.
Despite the fact that my parents decided that I should become a musician, my
mother instilled in me a love of painting. My gifts for birthdays were often not
dolls, but albums with reproductions of great artists. So in my childhood I got
acquainted with the works of Raphael, Leonardo da Vinci, Verrocchio, Giorgione,
the great Dutch ... Basically it was a portrait painting. I watched the pictures for
hours, and I was amazed how with the help of paint and brushes you can convey
the warmth and softness of the skin, the transparent light of the eyes, the
movement, the emotions ... I took pencils, paints and tried to copy pictures. It
seemed to me that I could get something similar, but the result did not justify my
expectations. Classes with music took a long time, and gradually my drawing fell into the background. However, the love of painting has firmly entered my life. And
when I had a camera, I decided that it was time to try to realize my childhood
dream.
