Introduction (2) (2021) Drawing by Hanna Karaleva

 They say, the most important thing in life - after freedom and safety- is creativity. We all are creators, even people who think their lives are too far from the art: we create our own life stories.

You can read the artist’s life from his pictures. Somebody creates poems, or crimes, or scientific work. Every time it is a new story and we are allowed to look inside. Sometimes we can just guess what about that picture is or just believe the story.

Hanna Karaleva paints fairy tales.

People, animals, things, souls - all of them tell us their plain stories. The viewer is admitted to a new world - and can enjoy. Everybody is accepted here as it is, and is beloved.

The Minsk school of Aplied Arts, the A.K. Glebov Arts College, the Belorussian Academy of Arts, were the stations of her professional development.

Her professors noticed her perfect sense for colours and composition and afterwards that gave her a possibility to become a professor for Composition and the History of Arts at the A.K. Glebov Arts College herself. There she successfully accompanied groups of students from the very beginning till their diploma project.

Beside the painting she leaded seminars and master-classes for Creativity Development of Adults at the Private Management Academy and in the Personal Development Centre „Ya samaya“ in  Minsk; gived private courses and seminars for children and adults in painting and design.

Paintings are in private collections in Belarus, Germany, Austria, UK, France, USA, Holland, Belgium, Poland, and Russia.
