Once in The April | Spring River Landscape with Willow Blossoms (60x60 cm, Oil on Canvas)
April, the river. Summer was approaching in the air, the air was not just warm, but hot. However, nature has not yet reacted to such rapid warming, there is no green grass and flowers yet, only the willow blooms with funny yellow fuzzies, so beautifully illuminated by the generous spring sun.
The composition conveys both the slowness and the urgency of spring. Reflections in the water mirror trees not yet in bloom, as if nature is still remembering winter. This artwork is about anticipation, about noticing beauty in the waiting — a moment between seasons, tender and timeless.

Presentation
Anna Bychkova was born in 1986 in Irkutsk. 2004 – 2009 graduated with a degree in «Manager» from Irkutsk State University. 2017-2018 received a degree in «Designer» from the International Design School, Moscow. From 2019-2022, she took private lessons from various artists. While studying with artists, Anna tried different materials. She painted with acrylics, watercolors, and dry pastels, but in the end she chose oil. Anna paints in Romantic realism, sometimes using elements of Impressionism to convey the movement of water streams or the soft vibration of light rays on the surface of the water.
Anna has participated in various international and national exhibitions, including the International art Exhibition "Grani-2024" Moscow, Russia in 2024 and art exhibition "Alone" in The Center of Contemporary Art «Fire», Irkutsk in 2024. This year, the Solo exhibition "With Baikal in my heart" space "Cedar" Irkutsk was held. The next scheduled exhibition : International exhibition and competition of contemporary art: ART ASSEMBLY IN EUROPE in the city gallery of Bačka Palanka, Serbia.
Anna Bychkova is a realist painter whose artistic statement centers on capturing the fleeting beauty of the natural world through oil painting. Deeply inspired by the emotional and visual power of landscapes—especially water—her works freeze moments in time, inviting viewers to pause, reflect, and reconnect with nature's magic. Bychkova uses impressionistic brushwork to convey the rhythm of waves, the shimmer of light on water, and the subtle emotional vibrations of the environment. Her mission is to evoke an emotional response and awaken a renewed sense of wonder in the viewer through carefully observed and skillfully rendered scenes.
