Story (2021) Drawing by Svetlana Gudilova

Synesthesia is a type of color hearing in which musical sounds evoke color associations in a person.

I am the kind of person who has color hearing.
My paintings are the material embodiment of music.

Beethoven wrote a work based on verses by Goethe.

Goethe's poems tell about the suffering of a girl who languishes in anticipation of a meeting.
I imagined an image when she walks along the seashore and shares her experiences with him. The excitement of the sea is in harmony with her feelings. Either her heart is filled with love, which is illuminated by bright rays, then doubts appear, which, like clouds over the sea, gather and strive to close the sun.
Beethoven's music also has an image in which the blissful sound of the C major key prevails, but there is a deviation in A minor and we can already hear fleeting sadness.

The most beautiful time at sea is during sunset. The rays of the sun paint the waves in different colors. They are reflected from the water and the sea seems to glow from the inside. I like this time of day so much that I never get tired of drawing it and finding new types and colors.

And also - the twilight conveys human emotions so well. As the sun goes down, everything changes as quickly as the emotional experience.

Have you noticed that during the twilight, the colors around become juicier and brighter?
In my opinion - pastel is much better than other types of paints, conveys brightness and richness, which I love so much in paintings. Therefore, for the image of the sea, I chose pastel. And if you put a pastel painting in a frame behind the glass, not forgetting to put a mat - an interlayer that would separate the painting from the glass, not allowing the pastel layer to come into contact with the glass, then such paintings retain their richness of colors much longer than oil painting.
Unlike oil paintings, the paint on them will not crack and burst.

My seascapes do not depict animals, people or seagulls. Thus, I want it to become closer and the rest of the details do not interfere with perception and merging with it.

My paintings do not have the artist's signature. I sign my work before sending it to the customer. And if the format of the picture allows, then I can sign several phrases on it that you want. It can be a congratulation to the person to whom you want to give a picture, or a phrase that is of great importance to you.
