Polkina Marina

Biography

I was born and raised in Russia. I have been drawing since I was 2.5 years old (recognizable objects, men, women, and animals). I am self-taught and have a passion for self-education. My favorite artists are Kuindzhi, Savrasov, and Shishkin. I focus on creating works that capture the essence of light, hyperrealism, and traditional techniques. I am an experienced hiker (multi-day, autonomous trips). I have 20 years of experience. I believe that the most beautiful places in my homeland are the mountains of the Caucasus. The best landscapes and works are taken from there.
