Birds (2024) Painting by Aleksandra Aurelli

I was born in 1995 in Slobodskoy. I graduated from art school, studied painting at university for 3 years, studying to be an architectural designer. At the same time, I drew portraits with a pencil.

For as long as I can remember, I have always drawn, but I never thought about creating my own painting. From an early age I knew such artists as Aivazovsky, Shishkin, but none of the modern ones, so art seemed something unattainable. While going through another illustration marathon on Instagram, I first thought about creating my own work. I started looking for current paintings and discovered the world of contemporary artists. Now art did not seem so unattainable. For the first painting I chose the theme of animal art because I have loved animals since childhood.

I was bored just drawing realistic animals, so I started experimenting. This is how I came to combine a realistic animal with abstract 2D elements, and gradually began to add relief to my work
