Painting San Simeone grande by Volynskih Mariya | Painting Landscapes Urban Architecture Watercolor

Mariya VOLYNSKIH's parents made her choose between art school and dance school when she was just 5 years old. She loved art so she went for the art school but the masterpieces hanging on the wall made her nervous. After just 3 months she won her first competition and earned a gold medal at the end of her studies at art school. Mariya then enrolled on a painting course at the Academy of Arts. She discovered the work of Airat Gainanov at an exhibition in 2013 and he became the Russian artist's source of inspiration.
