About the artist...
"Paint the lily", as well as Polina, is my artist's nom de guerre. The use of one or the other solely depends on my mood :)
In the past, I studied classic animation, as well as took drawing and painting at
The St. Petersburg State Academy of Fine Arts, Sculpture and Architecture - one of
the finest and most renowned art school
in Europe.
Currently residing in Toronto, Canada, I was taking
John Viljoen's portraiture
master classes, and am preparing for exhibitions.
I was very excited about recently opened opportunity for further studies at the famous art school of
Ted Seth Jacobs commenced
at a crossroads in the Loire Valley, France. However, Ted commented about my work: "There is something I don't
understand. I hope you won't mind if I am totally honest. From what I saw on your site, you have developed
your own strong style. May I ask, why do you want to study with me?" - that was the best endorsement for my
work, so now I am taking on my own journey and invite you to join.
While portraiture is my cup of tea, right now I am working on mutual
relation of colours and space. I try to highlight the depth of the
space without resorting to the help of forms or shapes. Forms or shapes
carry out only a piece in addition to the original view of the artist
and just facilitates creation of colour surfaces. Energy of light,
gracious lines and harmony of composition distinguish creation of the
artist.
I want to see the viewer’s eyes running across my paintings
being attracted to the radiant application of tones and colours.
Pollock's "The painting has a life of its own - I try to let
it come through" perfectly applies to my art. Do not
consider it as an investment of your money - art never was, and never
will be. It is rather an investment of your soul - something you will
have and remember for life.
