The first snowdrop (2022) Painting by Lyubov Yugina

I am a self-taught contemporary artist. I live and work in Kazakhstan. Part of my process before I begin painting is to think about materials and techniques with which I can convey what I see and feel. I work with acrylic, texture paste, golden leaves. I do not merely want to capture the image with my brushes rather, with careful, colorful strokes I want to give that image life once more.I depict nature as a whole and its constituent parts, conveying my vision and putting my own specific meaning. On the one hand, I like to calculate what the viewer should see first, what then. However, the composition and colors are designed for the first perception, since then the viewer, interacting with the work, moves along his own individual path. On the other hand, I want to create an environment, a situation, an image for the viewer with the help of a picture, something to reflect on and something to think about. I am inspired by the images, plots surrounding me. After all, it is so great to see beauty everywhere and in everything.
