"Магнолии" (2021) Pintura por Valeriia Kempi

I am a self-taught artist based in Saint-Petersburg, Russia. 

The start of my career began in 2014. 

I’m full-time artist and I have been selling my artworks successfully through social media. Thanks to my past profession of economist and sales manager, I have successfully and actively sold my paintings on my Instagram account to date. I work hard every day and write my new works or to order, as I can't imagine my life without painting.

I studied watercolor painting on my own as well as studying master-classes by famous masters of Russia and Europe. Despite the fact that I studied independently at master classes and online lessons, over the years of constant practice, I have developed my own style.

Since 2016, I began exhibition activities. 

I continued to study master classes by famous artists, independently study and practice the acquired knowledge (Elena Bazanova, Maria Pavlova, Konstantin Kuzema).

In 2018, with the support of the Union of Artists of the Moscow Region, I was organized the first personal watercolor exhibition. 

In 2018 by the international jury of the International Watercolor Society my work was selected for participation in the exhibition and represented Russian artist in Finland.

In 2019 I was taken part in the Russian Art Week, where I was won 1st and 3rd places with my watercolor paintings. 

Since 2019 I have been a member of the Union of Watercolorists of Russia. 

In 2021, I took part in the international Watercolourium competition and Art Week in St. Petersburg, where my painting twice took 3rd place in the Professional category.

 I enjoy working with watercolor paints using both classic and contemporary techniques and my work most always has a reference to flowers or landscape. Thanks to the watercolor paintings, I manage to convey the lightness and tenderness of natural elements: the tremulousness of the petals, sunsets and sunrises, the transparency of water.

The main purpose to my work is the idea of reflecting meaning and reality transferred through my inner perception.

To show life, the breath of nature and its fleetingness, to convey to the public my story is the main purpose of my work!  My paintings are full of life and joy, while working I fill my works with love. I find happiness and joy in drawing.

 By now I have participated in more 10 exhibitions in Russia and Europe, including a personal exhibition and my artworks are found in private and corporate collections around the world.
