Desert flower and sea deity - what do they have in common? Once, when I saw a bride with a bouquet of white flowers unknown to me in a wedding photo, I was captivated by their grace, impeccable purity and nobility. And here is the search again. It turned out that this is a protea - a native of South Africa. Protea is one of the most beautiful plants in Africa. Carl Linnaeus named it so in honor of the Greek sea deity Proteus. The forms and colors of the flowers of these plants living in the Spartan conditions of South Africa and Australia are surprisingly diverse. Proteus, the son of Poseidon, had the ability to take on the forms of various animals and birds, could appear in the form of fire and water. These qualities of it appear in different forms and served to ensure that the desert plant was named after the sea deity.
The main advantage of the protea is its chic bright flowers, the diameter of which ranges from 5 to 30 cm. Depending on the variety, they are filled with sweet nectar.
It is not the flowers themselves that give the proteas an unusual, original look, but their leafy wrappers, painted in yellow, pink, blue-pink colors. Thanks to these leaves, the flowers become like sea urchins, starfish, decorative cups.
The painting was painted in a series: "Protea" (2021) and "Protea and Eucalyptus" (2022). Consider purchasing the entire series of works with a 10% discount.

I have been interested in painting since childhood. But after school, she decided to develop in a different professional direction. She graduated from the University of Architecture and Civil Engineering with a degree in Architect of Residential and Public Buildings and Structures. This allowed me to easily understand the shape of objects, perspective and transfer them to the canvas. My desire to create with canvas only grew.
She worked for 12 years in a printing company. I have a professional skill in working with a computer, I can easily adapt a picture to any interior, I can visualize my work in space. Often I start my work on the order with this, it helps to determine the size and color scheme of the work and leaves the buyer satisfied.
But I felt that my true desire was to follow my heart and true love: painting. I have studied the academic methods of oil painting and drawing, and have attended various courses intensively for many years. Art education helped me to lay the foundation in art. I finally found the courage to leave my job as a designer and become a full-time artist, which allowed me to create more paintings.
For this, I use only high-quality oil paints, eco-friendly wooden stretchers, linen canvases, various structural pastes and other art materials. Images of flowers soothe, give aesthetic pleasure. The energy of peace, harmony, silence and serenity helps to slow down and relax.
I invite the viewer to discover a sense of unity with himself, the world and nature. Thanks to the interaction of colors, structures and different textures, each of my paintings is unique and inimitable, each has its own special style and meaning.
