Spring mystery (2015) Painting by Evgeniya Balykina

My name is Eugenia. I was born in Saint Petersburg and drawing has attracted me since childhood. I graduated from the faculty of graphic design of St.Petersburg State University.

I"m inspired by such masters of colors as Matisse, Modigliani, Degas, Picasso, Toulouse-Lautrec, Monet. 

In my works there is a desire to convay the beauty of female forms, body curves. Bold characteristic strokes create a whirlwind, a movement in space. The figures now are dissolved, then again come to the fore. Realism flows into a complete abstraction. I strive not so much to tell a story as to convey an emotional state. These are generalized portraits of the indomitable feminine in its most diverse manifestations and moods. 

I have  participated in more than 20 exhibitions in Russia and foreign countries. My works are represented in private collections of painting lovers in Russia, Spain, Germany, Great Britain. 

My favorite places for live and work are my native city of Saint Petersburg and a small Spanish Mediterranean village.
