Galina Vasiljeva

This series is a stunning combination of traditional Korean aesthetics with a modern, expressive style. Using the delicate brushstrokes of Korean calligraphy and the elegance of traditional painting, Galina brings to life the essence of South Korea’s cultural and natural beauty. Acrylic paints on colored paper add a contemporary twist, allowing for vibrant colors and dynamic textures.
The tiger, as a powerful symbol of South Korea, sets the tone of the collection – bold, confident, and filled with the spirit of the land. It is a memorable introduction that immerses the viewer in the country’s rich heritage. Galina captured the beauty of nature using the knowledge she gained from her Korean calligraphy classes. Cherry blossoms (sakura) bloom with softness and grace, evoking the fleeting beauty of nature, while bamboo stands firm, paying tribute to endurance and strength in the face of adversity.Playful pandas bring a delightful sense of joy and liveliness, balancing calm with excitement. And through her style, Galina has shown the harmony of the Korean landscape, which reflects the culture’s deep reverence for nature – everything from the majestic mountains to the calm waters, all she painted with unmistakable love and respect.
This collection is not just an exhibition of beautiful art, but a heartfelt tribute to South Korea, capturing the kindness of the people, the vastness of the land, and the timeless beauty she discovered during her time there. The combination of traditional techniques with contemporary execution creates a unique and personal narrative – one that invites the viewer to experience the beauty of South Korea just as Galina did.

My unique style and technique of painting with special strokes give these paintings a magical look and atmosphere. Textured strokes give them an almost three-dimensional feel. The spontaneity of each stroke creates movement and expression. Each stroke is an unusual colorful particle, which, when combined, gives you the feeling of awe and energy that captures you for a long time. In this series, you can find mountainous landscapes. Mountains are magnificent and untouchable. Have you ever visited mountains at sunrise or sunset? The sun paints the tops of the mountains with its colors and the fog can bring a unique atmosphere. Inspired by nature, I paint mountains using oil colors in a semi-realistic and abstract styles.
