Volynskih Mariya | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

Mariya VOLYNSKIH loves 19th and 20th century Russian art and has always been inspired by Impressionism and modern watercolour artists. She began working outdoors, studying colour and light to portray cityscapes, old towns, crumbling houses etc. The pieces and ideas may spring from the artist's head but they need time to grow and blossom, like a flower. Mariya then begins the design phase using the alla prima method. She soaks both sides of the paper and draws in one go. There's no way back after that. The artist carefully prepares a sketch of her work to achieve the result she wants. She uses her brush to capture her own reality and leave future generations with things and places that will no longer exist.
