Le boulevard Yaouzsky. (2009) Painting by Inna Skliarevskaia

Inna Skliarevskaya was born in an St.Petersburg communal flat in ex-house of Russian prince with windows facing the Winter Channel and the Hermitage Theater. After a study at the Fine Arts Academy she studied ballet history at the Theater Academy, worked successful as a ballet critic and later left theater to devote her to the art of painting. Since 1993 she participated in more then 80 exhibitions in Russia and Europe, including personal art shows in Paris, in London, in Hamburg, in Petersburg, in Moscow and in Vienna. She is a member of the Artists Union of Russia since 1994. In 2000 she joined the artistic group Children of Arkhip Kuingi. This creative institution unites artists aspiring to reinstate painting and to infuse traditions with modern content.
Inna's works of recent years represent figurativ painting with free treatment of forms and colors. Hard outlines, saturated, often unexpected colors, strong temper, vivid rhythm, quick and relaxed painting remind one of fauvism, but the artist is far from following somebody's traces. Her paintings? key characteristic is spontaneity; she works unhindered by premeditated concepts.
