Whitney

I live and paint in Vitebsk (Belarus), where Chagall and Malevich lived and worked. ​ My creative path began at the age of 29, when i came to the studio of the famous artist and art theorist Maley Alexander. ​ He introduced me to the basics of painting, since then painting has become the main activity, without which i can no longer imagine my  life. ​
   A woman is the most complex and incomprehensible creature on the planet. ​ No one knows what she wants, but she does not know it herself. ​ Therefore, in my paintings you will mainly see a woman. ​ I have always been attracted by difficulties, I prefer complex riddles, and you can solve a woman endlessly. ​ I adore them, I admire them, I am looking for a way and artistic means to display them on a plane. ​ My author’s technique, which I called washed stone, is a combination of a rough stone surface and a gentle female image on it, symbolizing the fact that a woman with her beauty and weakness is able to tame any force, as well as change the course of history. ​ I am inspired by the works of the expressionists and my work is moving further and further from realism towards expressionism.​
