This story is dedicated to the city of Porto, which I once fell in love with during my trip and where I now live. I am fascinated by its architecture and I can wander for hours, looking at the details of its narrow streets - doors, windows, balconies, lanterns, etc. and spy on the life of ordinary people

One of these streets is just depicted in the work. Tourist life is in full swing somewhere very close: endless shops, cafes, entertainment. But as soon as you turn the corner a little, you find yourself in a completely different world - you can see that the doors of these houses are not decorations, they open and people live behind them. And now someone walks with his dog, someone feeds the pigeons. Somewhere windows are open and someone's voices are heard from there, as if a song in an unfamiliar language

Some houses surprise with their structure, each floor seemed to be built separately, at different times and has some kind of its own design. I also noted this in my work.

On the sides there is a frame of more monosyllabic facades, and the middle is like a patchwork quilt and thanks to the terrain, you can see many tiers of houses. The winding labyrinth of the streets of old Porto creates the effect as if each house lives its own life and in its own perspective.

The mood is neutral, overcast but not rainy day. This is how I see Porto for the most part - calm, not festive, but cozy

The work is done with oil pastels and colored pencils on tinted acid-free paper with a density of 160g/m2.

Привет, меня зовут Анастасия Потелова и я художник-путешественник. Я родом из небольшого городка на северо-западе России - Вологды. Сейчас живу и творю  в Португалии, Порту.
Мой творческий путь, долгий и извилистый, не ограничивается только рисованием. Я очень люблю что-то делать своими руками - лепить, шить, мастерить.
Я черпаю вдохновение из окружающего меня мира. Это могут быть самые простые вещи. Иногда, чтобы зажечь искру вдохновения, достаточно увидеть просто цветок на пустыре или красиво сложенные коробки на помойке. И, конечно же, природа во всех ее проявлениях меня очень заряжает, поэтому я так люблю путешествовать и с удовольствием меняю место жительства.
Моя любовь к путешествиям отражена в моем творчестве. Я предпочитаю материалы, которые удобно брать с собой в дорогу: акварель, масляная пастель, карандаши, уголь. Моя техника живая и быстрая, этюдная, без большого количества деталей.
Я закончила Ярославское художественное училище, где получила академическое образование. По сей день я придерживаюсь реалистического стиля в своих работах. Но при этом я не творю в одном направлении. Я очень люблю и пейзажи, и зарисовки людей, и натюрморты и т.д.
Творчество для меня — широкое понятие, означающее, прежде всего, созидание.
Творить — это прекрасно. А если что-то создавать, то нужно делиться этим с миром, не ограничиваясь городом, в котором живешь. Ведь мы живем в прекрасное время, когда границы, особенно географические, стираются. Я счастлив, что мне есть чем поделиться.
