I have been enjoying the Arts as a hobby for more than 35 years. I am especially interested in acrylic and oil paintings of landscapes and have always had a great passion for colors, and this is a major thematic focus for all my works of art.
In 2010 and 2011, I had volunteered at the International Art Exhibition, and at the 50th-anniversary exhibit at Nathan Phillips Square, I exhibited my paintings on the Richmond Hill Gallery ART Show at the Sunnybrook Hospital, Toronto, Kelowna BC St Laureal historical house. I organized the teaching class at my place of work at BMO, Bank of Montreal. I have an intense desire to share my love to Arts with
others, and also demonstrate my methods and techniques to hopefully inspire others to paint. By actively participating in different art events and organizing art events across the city, I continue learning various techniques and explore new materials and media.
I had an invitation to participate in art shows at galleries abroad:

Hi Antonina
My name is Wladimir I’m an exhibitions assistant at The Brick Lane Gallery in Shoreditch, East London. We are currently looking for artists to exhibit in our rentable gallery space and I was fortunate to come across your works online... I thought your works were particularly strong, and of the right style, that would suit our exhibition space. We are, of course, always looking for something fresh and new to show at the gallery. I would therefore like to introduce you to The Brick Lane Gallery as a potential space to consider for your next project....
.....and believe your works could be suitable.....If you have been thinking about presenting your work in the most dynamic capital of the art world, do get in touch with Lucy Fiddian.We look forward to our future collaborations with you and wish you much success in your career.
Kind Regards,
Wladimir Grizaj
