Exhibition “Traditions and Modernity”
Moscow, Gostiny Dvor
For me, participating in this project is an opportunity to be part of a big and honest conversation about what unites us.
This is a great cultural event, in the heart of the city, next to Red Square, which every year brings together artists from different countries, directions and schools. Here you can see paintings, sculpture, graphics, ceramics, art objects and contemporary author's projects. This is an exhibition about how roots and new forms, tradition and personal search meet in art.

This year there is a special focus on developing contacts with representatives of the cultural communities of the BRICS countries, as well as artists from South Africa, Brazil, India, China, Ethiopia, Saudi Arabia, UAE and many African countries.

I will be showing a few of my works in the exhibition - from a series about transience.
It is a painting about a state that is difficult to capture in words. About a bloom that fades away. A beauty that does not seek to be seen, but remains.

Round paintings are an interesting solution

Round canvases are not just a fashion trend in art. It is a solution that is perfect for creating a special mood in your home or office
When you see a picture painted on a round canvas, it always arouses a special interest. We are used to squares, rectangles, clear corners and strict geometry.
And the circle is about softness, about fluidity, about harmony. It seems to carefully collect attention, concentrating it inside itself, and turns the picture into a center of attraction. Such paintings look great in any interiors: minimalism, classic, even loft or eclectic.
By the way, the symbolism of the circle also plays a significant role: the circle is considered a symbol of unity, infinity, completeness and harmony. Subconsciously, it is perceived by people as something natural and close.
But where exactly is it better to place them?

For example, over a soft sofa or armchair, a round picture will immediately create a cozy atmosphere of relaxation and comfort. In the bedroom - will fill the room with tenderness and peace, as if inviting you to leave all the cares outside it. Even in the hallway or corridor round canvas looks very interesting: instead of a simple passageway room you will get an art space, which will want to consider and feel.

And also round canvases look great in groups: a composition of several round canvases of different diameters can be a stylish and original solution. This technique does not just decorate the interior, but literally tells a story, folding into a single harmonious picture.
Try to imagine: a round picture in your interior. What would it be - delicate flowers, birds, the sea? What story could come to life on a round canvas in your home? The photo shows my paintings from the series Life all aROUND.

Got a swell review from art critic Ainhoa Fernandez

— Ainhoa Fernández Art critic, curator & artist Founder of Art Bites podcast Kingston University (Fine Arts), MBA in Art Market (Madrid)
“The use of color is a standout strength. Soft yet luminous tones create a sense of freshness and vitality. The artist has a strong eye for balancing warm and cool tones, giving the floral subjects a feeling of depth and movement. Shape rendering is impressionistic, favoring energy and emotion over strict realism. Also, the brushwork feels intentional but free, giving the flowers a sense of blooming dynamism. Impasto-like texture seemed to be created by thick, visible brush strokes, adds a tactile quality to the work that enhances its expressiveness. There’s a deliberate looseness in the handling that avoids fussiness while maintaining structure.”

Art meets design: collaboration as a trend!

I spoke at a unique platform for designers and architects in Krasnodar! It was an inspiring dialog about the benefits of design and art collaboration.
Huge thanks to Igor Sagalov for the invitation! As the founder of the interior painting studio ArtClub, I shared with the participants:
✔️ Experience of collaborations with artists and their role in creating unique spaces.
✔️ The studio's approach to working with customers: from idea to realization.
✔️ Case studies and examples of paintings that became the “highlight” of the projects.
It is especially valuable that such events as Igor Sagalov's round tables bring together industry experts from all over Russia. Here trends, innovations are discussed and new horizons for cooperation are opened.
🔍 Want to know more? Watch the full interview on my YouTube channel https://youtu.be/60Lkx1NIQZY?si=sYtrZW46H-O7EXm5. There you will find the importance of art in design, the secrets of successful collaborations and how paintings add value to projects and spaces.
P.S. I am especially proud to be part of this dialog! See you in the world of creativity and inspiration 🌟
The color pink in painting
Pink is much deeper than it appears at first glance.
It can be pastel and delicate, like childhood and weightlessness. Or it can be the color of dusty rose, calm and refined, suitable for noble classic interiors. There is a bold, bright fuchsia, which fits perfectly into a modern, dynamic design. And there is a barely noticeable pink dawn - transparent, subtle and cool, like the air at dawn.

Pink is the language of emotion. It is a way of saying something important quietly, almost in a whisper. Pink does not seek to make a loud statement - on the contrary, it invites you to stop, think and listen to your own feelings.
Pink in paintings is a subtle way to change the atmosphere of your home while preserving your individuality.

“You mess with these creators, you'll be guilty for the rest of your life.”

Or about the fears of ordering paintings
I heard this phrase from a famous person, and it got me thinking. He was talking about ordering paintings from artists, about how exciting it can be, and sometimes even scary. And you know, I understand him. Ordering art is not just a purchase, it's a kind of journey, full of emotions, expectations and, yes, sometimes fears.

Why is that scary?
When you order a painting, you trust the artist not just to create something beautiful, but to embody your ideas, your feelings, your story. It's like giving a piece of your soul into someone else's hands. What if the artist doesn't understand? What if the result will not be as you imagined? What if-- What if it goes wrong?
And then comes the main fear: “What if I can't say I don't like it?” After all, art is not a commodity that you can just return. It's a piece of someone's soul put into the work. And how can you tell an artist that his labor, his inspiration, his hours spent at the easel are not what you wanted?

A story from my practice
Let me tell you a story. I was approached by a woman who wanted to order a painting for her living room. She told me about her preferences, showed me a photo of the interior, and we started work. But when I showed her the sketch, she suddenly hesitated. “Should I add more green? Or make the background darker?” - she asked.

I realized that her doubt was not a whim, but fear. Fear that the painting wouldn't fit into her home, wouldn't convey her mood, wouldn't be what she wanted. We spent a long time discussing details, making changes, and eventually she got a piece she loved. But the process was a real challenge for her.
How do you overcome fear?
Be clear about your expectations. The more you tell the artist about your preferences, the higher the chance that you will be happy with the result.
Trust, but don't be afraid to tell the truth. The artist is not a magician, he does not read minds. If you don't like something, say it right away.
Remember that art is a dialog. An artist doesn't just fulfill an order, he shares his vision. Be open to new ideas.
Do not be afraid of mistakes. Sometimes they are the ones that lead to the most unexpected and beautiful results.

Why it's worth it?
Yes, commissioning a painting is a risk. But it's also an opportunity to get something unique that will speak specifically to you. It's a chance to be part of the creative process, to inspire the artist and be inspired yourself.
And you know what the most important thing is? When you see the finished work that fits perfectly into your home and your life, all fears and doubts disappear. All that remains is joy and gratitude.

Trends in visual art: between tradition and progress

Today I want to talk to you about the trends that are shaping contemporary visual art. The art world, like everything around it, is constantly changing, and these changes reflect our era, its challenges and hopes.
One of the main trends is digitalization, the merging of the digital and the physical. Artists are increasingly experimenting with technology, creating interactive installations, digital canvases and even virtual worlds. This opens up new horizons, but it also raises the question: where does reality end and digital begin?

Another important trend is the reflection of social and political themes, as well as the theme of natural disasters. Art is becoming a voice that speaks about the problems of society, ecology and global change. These are not just paintings, they are calls to action, reflections on the future and attempts to find answers to complex questions.

But there is also a trend that I am particularly excited about - a return to tradition. As a counterbalance to digitalization, there is a growing interest in handmade art. Artists are increasingly turning to the cultural traditions of different peoples, emphasizing their uniqueness and depth. There is something very human, warm and real about it.
Individual style is valued, visible brush marks that emphasize the human involvement in the creation of the work. It reminds us that art is not only a result, but also a process in which every detail is important.
Another important trend that is close to my heart is freedom of expression. The rejection of strict rules in favor of individual style allows artists to be sincere, experiment and find new forms. This is what makes art alive and unique.

I believe in progress and the development of civilization. But despite the development of artificial intelligence and the replacement of manual labor with machine labor, individuality and handmade art will always be valued. After all, it is in them - the soul of the creator, his emotions and unique view of the world.
Thank you for your love for art. Like life, it will always find new ways, but at the same time it will retain what makes it real.
About the “Life all aRound” series.

The psychology of color in art

The psychology of color in art is a fascinating field that studies how different hues affect the emotions, moods, and perceptions of the viewer. Colors in paintings can evoke strong associations, influence our state of mind, and even shape our impression of a work.
Exploring the role of color in art not only helps us to better understand the works, but also to realize how color affects our daily lives.
Exploring the role of color in art not only helps us to better understand the works, but also to realize how color affects our daily lives.
The emotional impact of colors can be expressed as follows:
Red
Symbolizes passion, energy, aggression or danger. It attracts attention and can cause feelings of excitement or tension.
Blue
Associated with tranquility, harmony, trust and depth. It is often used to create a calming atmosphere.
Yellow
Evokes feelings of joy, optimism and warmth. However, in large quantities it can seem intrusive or cause anxiety.
Green
Associated with nature, growth, peace and balance. Often used to convey harmony and tranquility.
Purple
Associated with luxury, mystery, spirituality and creativity. Can evoke a sense of mystery.
Orange
Symbolizes energy, warmth and enthusiasm. Often used to create a sense of activity.
Black
Can evoke a sense of mystery, elegance or sadness. Often used to create a dramatic effect.
White
Symbolizes purity, simplicity and light. Can create a sense of lightness and freedom.

Bright and playful paintings for children's rooms
Inspiration by Olga Beketova

When I create my paintings, I try to immerse myself in the world of childhood fantasies. Each brush stroke is an attempt to capture the joy and serenity inherent in childhood. I believe that the space in which a child grows up should not only be functional, but also filled with inspiration. And that's where pictures come in
Children's rooms are a world where magic happens. Every corner can be the stage for new adventures. The bright colors, playful shapes and fun characters I portray can spark the imagination. For example, a painting of forest dwellers can turn an ordinary playtime into an exciting journey through a fairy tale forest. I strive for my artwork to not just adorn the walls, but to become catalysts for the stories children tell as they play.
Conclusion
Bright and playful paintings are more than just decorating a child's room. It is about creating an atmosphere in which a child can grow, develop and dream. I hope that my work will inspire children to make new discoveries and help them create their own unique fantasy world.
Each painting is a small step towards a bigger journey. Let's together make children's rooms a place where dreams become reality.
ArtAnkara 2025 exhibition
ArtAnkara has come to an end.
So many impressions after a great exhibition.
My painting “Cosmos” was loved by the public and stayed in Ankara. After the sale, another couple came and asked where it was, they wanted to buy it, but they were a little late (by the way, an artistic replica of the painting is possible).

What conclusions after ArtAnkara 2025?

The exhibition has grown, at times the flow of people, as in the Moscow subway, it was extremely difficult to move around. It felt like the whole of Turkey had come, which is probably true. People from Izmir and Istanbul came to our stand.
The exhibition is becoming more and more interesting. I walked around the stands with pleasure. A lot of sculpture, ceramics.
I recommend it to artists!

Back to work 👍
Thank you for your likes and moral support ❤️ I felt it and I always feel it 🙏

I want to tell you about my dream

Many years ago I dreamed of having my own house.
At that time, we lived in rented apartments and a house seemed something far away and fairytale-like.
Then I heard somewhere that in order for a dream to come true, it must be described in every detail.

And so I sat down to describe my future home.

And in the description was one interesting phrase, how it got there - I have no idea)) . And I wrote it with my own hand: “...in my house a lot of paintings and beautiful interior items, it looks like an art gallery ...”.

an art gallery ! Wow !
And at that time I had not even started to look in the direction of painting, I had not yet begun to study.
My life was completely different: I worked in production and enjoyed the beauty of the protective coatings that we applied to the parts))))

And I remembered this phrase about the gallery a couple years ago, when I was walking around the house and looking at the paintings on the walls: my own, my children's.

And it hit me so hard! After all, my new life started with that very phrase in the description of my dream home. ❤️
And now yes, my home is a gallery.
Each room has its own atmosphere created by the paintings.

I wish everyone to dream a lot 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 and create a beautiful space around themselves
Personalized Gifts: Why customized corporate gifts are important

In today's business world, where competition is growing by the day, companies need to stand out not only with their products and services, but also with their approach to customers and partners. One way to achieve this is through the use of personalized gifts as part of the corporate culture. A personalized approach to gift selection is becoming a key element in building and maintaining relationships with customers and employees. In this article, we will look at why personalized gifts are so important and how they can impact a business.
  • 1. Strengthening relationships
    Personalized gifts help strengthen relationships with customers and partners. When a company chooses a gift that reflects the interests or preferences of the recipient, it shows that it values and respects them. This approach creates an atmosphere of trust and loyalty, which in turn can lead to long-term cooperation.
  • 2. Uniqueness and memorability
    In a saturated market where many companies use similar marketing strategies, personalized gifts stand out for their uniqueness. They leave a lasting impression that allows the company to be remembered by customers and partners. A unique and thoughtful gift can be the very factor that makes a client choose your company over many others.
  • 3. Increasing employee motivation
    Personalized gifts not only strengthen customer relationships, but also help increase employee motivation. When employees receive gifts that reflect their achievements or personal preferences, they feel important and valued by the company. This, in turn, boosts their productivity and engagement in the workplace.
  • 4. Improvement of corporate culture
    Corporate gifts adapted to the individual preferences of employees create a positive atmosphere in the team. They help strengthen corporate culture, build team spirit and increase overall job satisfaction. By taking into account the interests and preferences of employees, companies show that they care about their team and are willing to invest in its well-being.
  • 5. Emotional connection
    Personalized gifts create an emotional connection between a company and its customers or employees. Emotions play an important role in decision-making, and when a gift evokes positive feelings, it can greatly increase the likelihood of repeat purchase or cooperation. The emotional connection also contributes to a positive company image.
Personalized gifts are becoming an important tool in the arsenal of modern companies. An individual approach to the choice of gifts not only strengthens relationships with clients and partners, but also creates a positive atmosphere within the team. In a highly competitive environment, personalized gifts help companies stand out by creating a unique image and inspiring trust. Ultimately, investing in personalized gifts can pay significant dividends in the form of customer loyalty, highly motivated employees and sustainable business growth.

English online art gallery Artfinder (one of the world's best galleries) has marked Tangerines as one of the best paintings of January

And yesterday they were purchased by Collector from Krasnodar ❤️🙏 Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

Will fly from sunny Antalya to sunny Krasnodar ☀️
***
It's tangerine season in Turkey now, and every time I went outside I thought about this picture, looked at the trees, admired the shape and color, the contrast of orange on green. And I am so happy that this painting was born and has already found its home
Why are corporate gifts in the form of paintings the best choice?
Paintings are a versatile gift that speak for themselves. They convey care and attention to detail, inspire and beautify life.
When it comes to corporate gifts, you want to choose something that will be memorable and evoke emotion. Handmade paintings are becoming increasingly popular among companies that want to stand out and leave a lasting impression. It's not just a gift, but an expression of style, taste and respect.
1. A painting is always appropriate
Paintings are perfect as gifts for partners and employees alike. They will decorate an office, home or any space, giving it a personalized touch. Imagine how an exquisite painting such as “Asters” can be a stylish accent in a modern interior.

2. Emotions and Memories
A painting can inspire, bring joy or even remind you of important events. For example, the work “Morning in the Garden” with its soft shades of green and blossoming trees can transport you to the atmosphere of freshness and peace.

3. Uniqueness of each work
Handmade paintings are characterized by their uniqueness. I put my soul and emotions into every detail, which makes my works really valuable.
Exhibition “From Russia with Love”

Exhibition in Ankara at Canvas Gallery in collaboration with G Gallery, 15.11.2024, Ankara, Turkey
One of the brightest participants of the exhibition is Russian artist Olga Beketova. At the event, she presented a collection of 9 gold miniatures called “Birds of Paradise”. These works, made on a golden background, reflect the harmony of nature and man, as well as symbolize refinement and grace.

“I am honored to present my 'Birds of Paradise' collection here in Ankara as part of the 'From Russia with Love' exhibition. These works are a reflection of the search for harmony and internal dialog between cultural traditions and modernity.
The golden background in my miniatures is not just a decorative element, but a symbol of eternity and the spiritual radiance that art can bring to our lives. The birds in these works are a metaphor for the freedom, grace and transition that are so close to each of us.
I believe that art is a universal language that can unite, inspire and open new horizons. The exhibition 'From Russia with Love' became a platform for dialog, where tradition and modernity, East and West, personal stories and global ideas intersect” - shared Olga Beketova.
The exhibition was held in a warm atmosphere: live music was played at the opening, gallery owners and art directors shared their thoughts, and visitors actively discussed the artists' works. G Gallery art director Kristina Lantsova made a special speech, emphasizing the importance of cultural exchange through art.
“From Russia with Love” is more than an exhibition, it is a meeting place for ideas, emotions and inspiration.

Exhibition in Seoul, South Korea. Grappe Gallery. 2024.

The guys took care of everything and everything was done professionally: from the invitation, contract, discussion of details to the exposition itself.
Thank you very much for that! I love working with professionals.
There are exhibitions where only my paintings were on display. And this exhibition is just such an exhibition. I have not personally traveled to Seoul, perhaps in the future. Especially since there are more exhibitions planned. This is my first exhibition in South Korea, and I see the great love Koreans have for classical Russian painting. It is very pleasant. My art was represented by three works: Irises and a new painting from the Vintage collection in gold.

My painting was added to the luxury selection on the global online artfinder site

Can you find her?

Attending an exhibition in Seoul, South Korea, October 2024

I am participating at the invitation of the Angel In art project.
This proposal from Seoul is what I wanted and how I imagined working with galleries.

I can definitely say that now I am getting a different experience of collaboration or partnership, it's a whole other level.
I thank the gallery and the Angelin project. It is staffed by people who are not indifferent to art and are open to cooperation.
The most important thing for an artist is for the studio to be empty
All paintings are either with collectors, or go to them, or hang in galleries and exhibitions, or fly there

Paintings are created for people, they should not be dusty in storerooms and on shelves.

ANTALYA INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION “ART NOUVEAU” AT THE STATE GALLERY OF MODERN ART (ANTALYA, TURKEY). 25.10.2024-25.11.2024

I'm sitting down to do the birds today. I have a whole line of 30x30cm canvases prepared.
Hands itch)) finally got to them.

For September I counted that I wrote 20 paintings of medium format 40x50 cm, 4 large circles 90 cm and 2 format 60x80 cm, and there were still birds 30x30 a few pieces.
All the paintings are either for exhibition or on order. Not a single one left at home. This is the happiness of the artist

September was fruitful. October will also be so!
Applied for the exhibition in Alanya
This is the 9th international exhibition. It will be in November 2024.

The first time I heard about it, I thought: “Alanya? Well, no, I have London and Rome ...”
My colleague @Irininart said, “Let me take your painting. We'll go together, go for a walk, take the kids.”

And I thought: and indeed)) why not.
And the exhibition turned out to be beautiful, bright with a concert at the vernissage, in a beautiful building, with fiery speeches.
I liked it all.
And here is the second time I submit already with confidence: “yes, Alania”😁

P.s. Artists who are subscribed to me, send me your email in a private message. I will send you the information
It's absolutely free 👍
INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION IN LUXEMBOURG: SEPTEMBER 2024
My “tropical” painting from the Vintage gold collection is participating in the International Exhibition in Luxembourg (September - October 2024), and it's like I'm with it.

I know how many difficulties the gallery and art director Kristina Lantsova had: inspection, confiscation, checks... but all difficulties are behind and all paintings are on the stand. 👍🙏 Gallery G-Gallery
Friends! I'm sharing the news

My great pride and joy (!) as an artist and organizer

is the opening of an exhibition in Antalya
ART AND CULTURE EXHIBITION, 2024, BEIJING, CHINA

My trip to Istanbul on the ArtContact 2024

I didn't participate in the fair this year, but I went to see the art, meet the artists of the Ilya Repin Academy of Arts, say hello to the organizer of the fair, Bilgin Bey, and just enjoy Istanbul.
ArtContact Istanbul International Art Fair is one of the most important art fairs in Turkey and is a serious competitor to the İstanbul Contemporary exhibition in Turkey.

Participation in ArtAnkara 2024

As always it was excellent!

Annual prestigious international exhibition of contemporary art. Held in the main exhibition center of the Turkish capital “Kongressum” “Art Ankara”.

The fair traditionally presents works of painting, sculpture, photography, video and digital art, installations and many other forms of artistic expression resulting from a careful selection by the Selection Committee.

9- 12 March 2023, ArtAnkara (Ankara, Turkey)

I'll be flying to Istanbul for Art Connect 2023 soon, soon! YAY!


The fair takes place in Istanbul, which, although it is not the official capital of Turkey, is certainly the largest (Istanbul exceeds Moscow in population), most famous, tourist and “art” city in Turkey.

Istanbul has the most intense art life in the country, there are many galleries, collectors, famous artists, and ArtContact is the “cherry on the cake” of this art space. This art fair takes place once a year and gathers all the cream of the art crowd - the best galleries in the country present their best artists, ALL collectors and curators come to see each work in person, bohemians, bloggers, press, business leaders and cultural figures put ArtContact on the “must-see” list.

ArtContact takes place in a beautiful and stylish space, which also “sets the tone” and high status of the fair. At the same time, the exhibition center is spacious enough for the top galleries to take large stands and show themselves, but not so huge that the audience gets tired of the volume of the fair and does not pay proper attention to each gallery presented.

The fair will be held for the 3rd time in 2023, but it is already definitely in the “top 3” of the most important art fairs in Turkey.

ArtAnkara 2023

March 9- 12, 2023, ArtAnkara (Ankara, Turkey).

This is my first fair. I dedicated my booth to my values that help me in my life and work: Freedom, Inspiration, Joy, Sincerity, Dedication, Trust and Patience. I have expressed my ideas through the heroines on my canvases. Some of them are fictional and some are taken from real life. Each heroine represents one value.

I thank G gallery and its art director Kristina Lantsova, art curator Katya Samitina and, of course, Russian House in Ankara and its director Alexander Sotnichenko for organizing the stand of Russian artists.

I was captivated by the oriental hospitality, the openness of the visitors and the warm welcome we received.
