Visual Art – Canberra
I was born in Russia, and have been in Australia nearly ten years. While I'm a relative newcomer to the arts scene, I've always loved to draw, to garden, to create... I use different mediums for my painting: acrylic, charcoal, watercolor. My passion is painting on glass (stained glass style), tiles, terracotta.
Stained glass painting, which arose in the Middle Ages, back in fashion!
Bright, colourful stained glass painting decorates any home and is a great original gift.
For my painting in a stained glass style I use a specialized high quality glass paint, which lets the light go through. The stained glass painting techniques allow to combine the brilliance and transparency of colours and a beauty of glass. Same painting looks different from different angles or in different light conditions. Placed on glass, the paints show the depth and 3 dimensions of colours. Sun light falling on a glass painted surface creates its new beauty and presents it from a different aspect.
The candle holder painted in stained glass style gives a beautiful effect reflecting colourful light on all objects around, setting you into a romantic mood.
Glass paint will not peel off or crack, so you will enjoy this painting for years to come. Centuries have proven its durability. It does not tarnish or fade. it is a non-toxic paint and it is hardened at a high temperature in order to make it dishwasher and microwave safe. However, I recommend hand-washing or using a damp cloth to ensure a long life of it
