Calm in Motion

Samira Yanushkova, Ukraine

My name is Samira Yanushkova. I was born on August 24, 1981, in Odessa, Ukraine. In 1998, I graduated from a public education school in Pershotravensk. After that, I entered a faculty of decorative and applied art of Dnipro Theatre and Art College. I graduated in 2003. In 2008 I received my diploma from the faculty of Ukrainian Philology and Art Studies. I am a certified watercolor artist. Throughout the years of my career, I have participated in dozens of exhibitions. Among the most prominent events were the International Watercolor exhibition Ukraine 2018, IWS Czech Republic 1st International Watercolor Festival 2018, Art Zurich 2019, and Our Wonderful World, 2020. Participation in IFAM Global, Golden brash contest ‘Love Peace & Tolerance Through Art’ brought me an award. In 2021, I participated in the World of Modern Watercolor event with the painting ‘Garlic’. In the same year, I entered a list of top - 100 painters of the USA. In the same year the painting “Fisherman’ was presented at Brushstrokes of Harmony in California. My paintings have been exhibited on many continents in many countries like Russia, Ukraine, USA, Vietnam, Turkey, Indonesia and more. My paintings display energy, color, and brightness. I am using watercolors because they help me recreate the world in my paintings. I am inspired by nature and its colors. If I needed to describe my art in short, I would say that I catch the sunbeams with my paintbrush. My job is my hobby at the same time, and I enjoy every moment spent on painting.
