Angel of hope#2 (2013) Schilderij door Marina Podgaevskaya

When creating my paintings, I first act as an observer photographer. And then I transfer this into the space of the painting, exaggerating or weakening where necessary, color and shape. I create a work that does not copy nature. There is a real image and there is its artistic embodiment. These are not artificially created objects, but the memory of a state.
I took part in about 40 exhibitions in Russia and abroad.
My paintings are located: at St. Petersburg University, at the Pulkovo Observatory and at the Slovak Embassy in St. Petersburg, in private collections in the USA, Great Britain, Russia, Slovakia, France, Germany...
