I have a wide range of interests. It’s interesting for me to live and to discover the world.

I have always liked drawing things, painting and colouring. I love art because I have creativity in my soul.

“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up. ” ― Pablo Picasso When my mum noticed my interest she took me to the city Art School which I then started attending.

Without a personal relationship to the landscape there is no creativity. For the work «Fog at sunrise» he was awarded the diploma of «The Union of artists of Russia» . In 2005 he got the prize of the Tambov region after A. M. Gerasimov.

She is a poet, an artist and a teacher. She is the member of the Union of writers of Russia, the member of the Union of artists of Russia. Marina Guseva , as a professional artist, illustrates her books herself.

The teaches help develop my skills. They liked to follow the students to have fun and be creative, but also learn at the same time.

It’s been six years already since I first went there. I have finished art school and now I paint and draw in my free time.

I’m really good at picturing objects. I especially like drawing nature and still life. I depict things that have impressed me deeply: beautiful flowers and poetic landscapes.

I like to paint portraits as well.

I paint and draw on paper. I work in watercolour, pencil and pastel. For me painting is a means to understand the beauty and harmony of the surrounding world, a way to express my own emotions, feelings and perception of life.

“Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. ” ―Pablo Picasso

“Anybody can look at a pretty girl and see a pretty girl. An artist can look at a pretty girl and see the old woman she will become. A better artist can look at an old woman and see the pretty girl that she used to be. But a great artist-a master- can look at an old woman, portray her exactly as she is. . . and force the viewer to see the pretty girl she used to be. . . and more than that, see that this lovely young girl is still alive, not old and ugly at all, but simply prisoned inside her ruined body. ” ― Robert A. Heinlein

I love horses and horse riding.

I ride horse for fun and exercise not for competing purposes.

It’s a great way to get out into fresh air and forget about everything for a while.

I am interested in photography. It is very important to catch a person or an animal in a moment of action, feeling, perception and record that moment with unerring strokes.

It is an excellent way to create the kinds of artistic images. When I go on holiday I always capture the scenes and the moments in a way that means I actually want to look at them.

Who knows what future may bring me?
