My name is Galina Gomzina. I am a professional watercolor artist.

I was born in St. Petersburg, in extraordinary by the beauty of the city, where the majestic river Neva and a large number of picturesque canals flow.
It was this one that influenced the artist ‘s creativity, at almost all my works you can see depicted water, with enchanting and elusive reflections, surrounding us reality. These stories give a sense of peace and harmony, and at the same time are filled with energy and
movement.

For me “Water is a real creator. Sometimes only for a moment she creates her works, which disappear into ignorance, that in their place there would be new. And it is very interesting for the artist to catch and capture these moments in the painting…. ”

I love watercolor for its unpredictability, lightness and transparency. For me, watercolor is the whole world. Watercolor perfectly conveys the state of water with its mesmerizing reflections.

My favorite technique is “A-la prima,” a single-layer watercolor on wet paper. In my opinion, it is this technique that best reveals the possibilities of watercolor painting and requires quick work from the artist and a lot of energy and emotion.

I’m a member of the Creative Union of Artists of Russia and the Russian Association of Marina Artists.

China, Serbia, etc.).
