A lovely exhibition by Lina Kovalenko

Some months ago I was very lucky to visit an exhibition of wonderful oil paintings by Lina Kovalenko. The exhibition was organized by the art gallery “Art-Anapa” that specializes in a contemporary Russian art. 

I got so impressed by Lina’s painting style! In my opinion, her paintings have a great mixture between Realist style and Impressionist style. If you look at her paintings, you will see well-known images from real life, like harbour, boats, mountains, animals, people. But all these images are made in such a picturesque, delightfully vibrant, playful way that you stop at every picture and say to yourself: “Oh my god, that’s fascinating! I wanna paint like her.”
