First picture - Genesis, filling life, second - Flowering, third - Flight. There is harmony in nature and all the lines of our body completely reflect it. Three pictures, three wonders of nature - the physical state of substances, plants and living beings. Three symbols of life. Three states of soul and body.
This is not a scientific theory, but only my perception of the world)
I called it symbols, because it is the way to create our world - from the physical state of substances and plants to living beings, to advanced humanity. At the same time I perceive all the nature that surrounds us, as a living organism, and we are a small part of it ) Therefore, probably the lines of our body are so harmonious and resemble natural forms. A pregnant woman is like a drop of water - full and bearing the birth of a new life. A blooming woman is like a flower that you want to touch, to contemplate it, it is a temptation to possess a beautiful, but in the general picture of the world it is so short-lived) and our Soul is like a butterfly that is always eager to fly, to freedom, it is light like a butterfly and also beautiful, when we are born) but during our lifetime we color it in different colors)

Presentation
I was born in 1967 in the Soviet Union, which generally surprised me, because I dreamed of being born a princess and not a “pioneer". Therefore, my entire childhood was imbued with protest against banal and boring everyday life. I wanted to become a ballerina, write poems and stories, learn to play the piano, knit and sew unusual outfits for myself. I have always been a creative person, but for some reason I studied at a physics and mathematics high school, where I got a gold medal. I graduated from Riga Technical University with a very romantic specialty: engineer, builder, technologist of reinforced concrete products and structures. I can't answer the question of why I chose this specialty :-)
To my good fortune, a few years after college, the Soviet Union collapsed. I was able to start my own business. Very unexpectedly for me, I became the director of an advertising agency. Our agency was engaged in design and printing and worked for more than 20 years until the start of the war on February 24, 2022.
Passionate about photography, I was for many years tormented by the desire to draw what I saw. Convey the emotions I feel through colors and shapes. But I never learned to paint, which I regret very much.
But one day, for fine motor skills, I was advised to paint. I just took some paint and a brush and started drawing. In 2020 I moved to France where the universe allows me to paint on a daily basis. I have been painting for 4 years.
I like painting with acrylics. I work in the style of expressionism, impressionism. My main problem is Parkinson's disease; I can't always draw straight lines. This is why I joke that I paint in the style of Parksonism.
My creativity is my emotions, my perception of the world through color and shape.
I mainly draw nature. We all live in a very dynamic world and often don't notice the beauty around us. And the world is so beautiful!
I would like people, looking at my paintings, to feel this mood and remember that our main mission on earth is to live in harmony and be happy.
