African Pearl Hope Print

I was born and raised in Russia...I was born with a talent for drawing, but since in my country there was a very strong stereotype that artists are poor, I did not receive an art education - neither secondary nor higher. I have been drawing and giving my paintings as gifts all my life... some of my artworks were already exhibited in art galleries in Russia and were also published in art magazines.... there were breaks in painting for several years... but I couldn’t live without art... At the age of 25 I moved to Tenerife / Canary Islands and continue living in this picturesque place full of energy and life until today... I've been painting always by passion and by my heart I decided to live my life as a professional artist. Art is LIFECHANGING! Art is life and life is art. The basis of my paintings is love... Love to life, love to the world, loveto the universe.... I am an example of the fact that nothing matters, just draw. even when your hands fail, when your eyes cannot see, draw. just feel love inside you and draw... Many of my artworks already found place in private collections in various countries, some of them I donated or they are temporarily a part of artistic apartments in Canary Islands and some of them are still available for buyers.
