Description
“The Open public library" transports us into the serene, hushed atmosphere of a grand library, where sunlight dances through towering windows, casting a warm glow across time-worn wooden tables and elegant bookshelves. This painting articulates the beauty of contemplation and learning, where individuals are absorbed in their work, each lost in a world of thought and discovery. The artist captures the essence of a sanctuary for knowledge, deftly using textured brushstrokes and a muted palette to evoke a sense of both tranquility and enlightenment. The interplay of light and shadow creates a peaceful ambiance, echoing the timeless pursuit of wisdom. This piece invites the viewer to relish in solitude and celebrates the quiet power of the human intellect.

Presentation
Born in 1968. Artist based in Amsterdam, Netherlands“Since I was a beginning artist I focused on paradoxical themes in my work, which I loved to create in my mind and then put them on the canvas. It changed into something completely opposite- simplicity combined with beauty, after a dramatic event in my life.
I started to deeply resonate with the saying “live every day as it is your last one». In my work I want to express that value of life as an amazing gift and I do my best to make every day count by creating beauty - not only for myself but also for others.
These days, what I paint is largely based on a combination of spots of color. During the process I sketch that chaotic first layer and the oil paint then dictates me itself what strokes to put on next. I would call my style close to impressionism. I prefer to use a palette knife before the brush because it allows me to be more flexible and free while painting with vivid thick layers. This way I am translating my emotions directly onto the canvas." Education: Ufa art school (+MS in History of Art)
