Glitter and Vice: World of Pearls

Anastasiya Krasnova, Russia

I was born in the northern city of Sovetsky, and from the age of ten I lived in a boarding school for gifted children of the North, in the city of Khanty-Mansiysk. I left my family at such a young age to do what I love and get the best specialized education in the country. From a young age, I devote several hours a day to creativity. I studied and tried a lot of areas from jewelry to environmental design. During my studies, all my teachers were masters of their craft, most of whom are members of the Union of Artists and Honored Artists of Russia. During my studies, I often participated in exhibitions and regularly won first place and grand prix at all-Russian and international competitions and festivals. For many years, I painted paintings to order and reproductions of great canvases. Even during my studies, I realized that my creative nature longs for painting, working with paints and the ability to transfer my thoughts to canvas. Therefore, I preferred the work of a designer to the work of a painter. After graduating from university, I opened my creative workshop Artburg, where I have been successfully teaching painting to adults and children for 5 years. I also have several talented artists on my team. During the pandemic, I conducted online classes, and from that moment on, I had students not only in Russia, but also in France, Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic and other countries. This year, I decided to pay more attention to my original painting and the creation of unique paintings. During this period, I have already created three series of works and developed a unique technique, jewelry painting.
