Marina
Edikovna Lalayan

Born in the city of Yessentuki in Stavropol region, currently live and work in Pyatigorsk.
A self-taught artist with no formal art education. In school favorite subject was art. Over the years, the fascination with various forms of creativity has captured more and more.
Created toys, doing beading, stained glass, pottery, embroidered cross, but still, painting has become a favorite pastime. Visiting exhibitions, watching the works of great masters, read art books, inspired the creation of works on various subjects. The paintings of Ivan Aivazovsky, various sea state and the name "Marina" gave impetus to the writing of Maritime paintings. In 2012 the first Crimean plein air was painted oil paintings on marine theme.
Animalism is one of my favorite genres , not enough jobs created in this direction. Try in watercolor, creating paintings made of wool.
