Creative Autobiography

I was born in Grozny in 1982.
I have devoted my whole life to creativity in one form or another, tried drawing in different techniques, studied art at two educational institutions: the College of Art and Industrial Design and the Textile Academy in Ivanovo, received bachelor's degrees as a colorist and fashion designer. I participated in fashion designer contests, in the competition "White Amphora 2005" held in Vitebsk, I won the Grand Prix.
The great couturier Slava Zaitsev took my diploma work at the Textile Academy.

While still studying at the Textile Academy, I became interested in web design and worked in this profession for about 10 years in the web studio that I opened with my husband.
At the same time I did not forget about drawing, and also engaged in arts and crafts, which later took shape in a business project for the production of breakfast tables for bed, decorated in various techniques.
I experimented a lot with materials and form, and in 2015 I developed my own painting technique, calling it sculptural painting.
At first, my technique resembled a pastose oil painting with a dab hand, but I use a special strong plaster to give volume to the work.

Gradually the sculptural painting became more and more voluminous and now, the flowers I paint are almost like living flowers, yet they never fade. The height of the flower can be up to 5 cm
My flowers are my life, I can't imagine myself without creativity, if I lose the opportunity to paint - it would be tantamount to death
With my work I want to show people how beautiful the world around is, what wonders nature conceals, how much beauty is around. I strive to capture the moment in a single moment, to preserve life in the unfading beauty as I see it, as my hands feel it.
Each picture is unique, each flower is unique, it is impossible to make two identical flowers.
My art has a lot of fans in social networks, my Instagram account @evgenia_ermilova has more than 220,000 followers, I regularly teach people around the world, I have my own online school of sculptural painting. I have traveled all over Russia and visited 9 countries (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Estonia, Germany, Indonesia, India) with master classes and presentation of my art. In just 3 years of active teaching activities in "live" master classes and online, I have taught more than 1500 people.
I am the owner of the company for the production of materials for creativity (volume compositions for drawing), a registered trademark Evgenia Ermilova ™, the products are exported to 27 countries around the world.
In 2020, my book "Sculptural Painting" was published by Hobby Library, which is the most detailed tutorial on my author's technique.
I also work a lot in my studio and my works are in private collections in Russia, Japan, Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, UK, USA, Germany and others.

At first glance it may seem that the paintings are fragile, but in fact I work on a wooden base and the material I use is very durable. I am attaching a link to a crash test video of one of my paintings.

I have repeatedly delivered my work in Russia and abroad using DHL, FedEx and other companies. There were no problems with packaging, customs clearance and delivery. I am ready to participate in exhibitions and other Union events, both online and offline.
