Biography

Mikhailichenko (Tyrtyshnaya) Svetlana Vasilyevna
Was born on November 26, 1995 in Tihoretsk, Krasnodarsky krai.

From 2004 to 2008 she studied at the children's art school of the village of Fastovetskaya in the art department.
In 2013 she graduated from high school of stanitsa Fastovetskaya with a gold medal and the same year she entered Kuban State University to study in the specialty "State and Municipal Administration", graduating in 2018 with a red diploma.
In 2017 she received a second specialty in ADPO Kurgan "Teacher of fine and decorative and applied arts".
From 2016 to the present time she has been working at the Children's School of Arts in the village of Fastovetskaya, Krasnodar region as a teacher of artistic disciplines, and she is also the head of the art department of the school.
Here is how Svetlana herself talks about her creative path:
"I chose my way back in childhood, as soon as I learned to hold a pencil in my hands, because I have always loved to draw. I drew everywhere and always: when I was happy and sad, when I wanted to cry, and when everything was fine. Drawing was the only thing that could keep me busy for hours, because I was a very active child. I especially loved studying nature, understanding how one color was born from another, how to transfer that to paper and how, finally, the painting itself was born. Then at school there were drawing lessons, where I finally fell in love with art and realized that I could not go anywhere without it, and it is without me too. I drew a lot. If all of the drawings I made back then had survived, they could have covered all the walls in the house. So only the best ones have survived, and successfully preserved in the private collections of my relatives. That's when my mother sent me to her native art school to the art department, which I graduated with honors.
After graduating from art school, there was a period of experimentation and formation as an artist. I actively participated in all kinds of exhibitions and competitions, and have many awards from local to national and international levels. During all this time I've tried everything: drawing, knitting, embroidery, gluing, modeling, cutting and sawing. I made pencil sketches, crayons, glued handicrafts from various improvised materials. I tried to work in techniques such as acrylic painting, watercolor, stained glass painting, fabric painting, graphics, pastels and much more. But my heart is forever captured by oil painting. Oil painting allows me to convey all the beauty of objects, preserving richness, brightness and vividness of color. Now I can't go anywhere without it and I think we have it in common.
Art always attracted me, and I knew that I would tie my life to it. Although my first degree in management, fate still led me to the creative profession, because without art I simply could not imagine my life.
As to my art, it is absolutely versatile. It is still life, fruits, flowers, landscapes and animals. In my works I want to convey all the beauty and emotionality of the world around us. I like to draw hyperrealistic pictures in which I try to show everything almost under a microscope. Portraits are also one of my main focuses, because I am inspired by unusual people and their emotions. I can paint realistic portraits in various genres and styles of my choice. I draw my subjects in daily life, in the small things that we sometimes do not notice in the bustle of days: a drop of dew on a green blade of grass, shining from the rays of a bright spring sun, or in the radiant smile of a young red-haired girl.
My paintings reflect my nature. Everything in them should be harmonious, concise and brought to perfection. My motto in life - bring goodness into the world and shine your light all around. During the creative process I am filled with a powerful light energy, a part of which I transfer to my works, getting enormous pleasure from it. I am one of those people who believe that every object has a soul and energy. So, when you create something, if you put only good things in it, then the object will attract and give only a positive charge. Therefore, my clients can be sure that by buying any painting from my collection, happiness and good luck will never leave their home. - Svetlana describes her work.
Svetlana paints in the style of realism. The fundamental task in the works is to accurately and objectively portray reality by playing with many shades and finely tracing the details of objects on the canvas, which is best accomplished with oil painting.
