Svetlana Musina-Medvetskaya does not simply create portraits: she tells stories, placing characters in a certain environment. Her characters are focused, self-sufficient, and individualistic. In doing so, they naturally coexist with an environment filled with detail, and it is only natural that the scene does not look staged.

"I am not ready to paint grand portraits, smooth and all beautiful. What I find much more interesting is portraying a person in a certain way or showing a scene from everyday life.



To my mind, that the work is successful only when one wants to think about the personality of the person portrayed and their story. I do not pursue absolute photographic similarity but rather prefer to be guided by my gut feeling. If the customer is ready to trust me, I am open to cooperating."




The artist works from a photo only. You will need a high-quality photo, with no filters and or Photoshop touching. It is discussed individually: not every photo will be suitable.
