Author name: Mariya Myronova

"Mariya Myronova works in impressionistic style using oil pastels with their creamy rich textures and vibrant colours. Starting with an acrylic underpainting to show the whole atmosphere of the moment and continuing with layering the oil pastels thick strokes. The artist is adding details using sgraffito technique.  Conceptual art is another style that Mariya is very passionate about, understanding human mind and its games always facinates her. She loves experimenting with natural linen canvases and oil in this style.  Mariya’s realism style developed with teaches from Russian Academy of Art based on the classic examples in Art History such as Levitan, Repin, Savrasov, Shishkin, Polenov etc.  Mariya nurtures her paintings from the birth of a new idea to an independent, fullof life and energy art masterpiece using only the best, lightfast professionaloil paints like Michael Harding, Winsor & Newton, Sennelier and Swiss CaranD’Ache oil pastels, protective varnish and universal energy and love.   "
