Nellya Maximova (pseudonym Nelly M). Beginning self-taught artist.
Before taking up painting, she graduated from university with a degree in economics. Over time, my creative nature demanded self-expression. In 2014, I became interested in drawing following video lessons by artist Igor Sakharov. Initially painted in oil and watercolor, then there was a long break in creativity until 2022.
After that, only acrylics are used in the work.
Paintings created by an artist should not always look like photographs, because the world around us is embodied in bright colors and exquisite forms. The artist wants to convey to the viewer not only the beauty of a bright sunset, sunrise or spring blossom, but also the emptiness and beauty of a rainy day, a misty morning or a dark evening.
I was once inspired by Antoine de Saint-Exupery's work "The Little Prince", we were all once children that we were able to create, take on new things, be direct and brave, only few of them remember it. I would only like to add that "the most important thing is what you can't see with your eyes..."
