Paintings by Anna Razumovskaya Everyone who has become the owner of at least one work by Anna Razumovskaya has brought into their home the warmth and extraordinary energy that the artist’s paintings emit. Anna's name is in three the best masters North America in such the most difficult direction, like Figurative art. What words can convey the fleetingness of mood, dance, light, “caught?” brush in a seemingly elusive moment? And is it necessary to talk about what real art and talent are when all this can be seen with your own eyes? We were lucky. Painting lovers whole year are looking forward to the next Art Expo in New York and Atlanta - the two largest exhibitions in North America. There, in her pavilion, Anna presents the latest collections of works along with other world-famous artists. During the five days of work, more than 40,000 visitors come to the Art Expo, and among them are representatives of the largest galleries in the world. Many of them offer solo exhibitions of Anna Razumovskaya, as was recently the case in Dayton, Ohio. The paintings?go away?, barely having time to unpack... And we can come to the Anna Art Publishing gallery at almost any convenient time and feel for ourselves the attractive power of the works and the charm of its owners. The atmosphere of the gallery, perhaps the most spacious I have seen in Toronto, is the least reminiscent of high society. Communication with the gallery owners Anna and Evgeniy - seemingly spoiled by the attention of the high society of art connoisseurs - is easy and relaxed, which also brings joy from the fact that they are one of their own. No one here rolls their eyes as they rant about the artist's exclusive mission, his destiny to influence the minds of today and future generations. The artist Anna Razumovskaya, who grew up in Rostov-on-Don, did not plan to make a career in fine arts. At the end high school she just fulfilled her parents’ choice and entered the art department of Rostov State University. But Anna realized her calling only in her fifth year, and she graduate work was recognized as the best. Later, Razumovskaya consciously went to study in Germany, then to Holland, where the artist studied and mastered rare painting techniques. Choosing a place to continue your life path, Anna ended up in Canada, where she still lives. In the new place, Anna had to concentrate her will as much as possible in order not to get confused and survive. Razumovskaya accepted the only correct solution– she began to make a career as an artist, and, in my opinion, she succeeded brilliantly. Today Anna Razumovskaya is one of the three best North American artists. Razumovskaya's skate steel is amazing female portraits, in which, thanks to the palette of colors chosen by Anna, both the passion and tenderness of these lovely creatures are intertwined in a single compositional rhythm. Despite the fact that Razumovskaya paints mainly commissioned portraits, this in no way reduces the artistic value of her works, at least for me personally. Thanks to her paintings (and, unfortunately, very few of them can be found on the Internet), I saw another facet in feminine character, a captivating facet - a combination of fragility with strength of character. It is possible that subconsciously Anna Razumovskaya puts a piece of her character into the images she creates. And there is one more quality of Anna Razumovskaya’s character that involuntarily caused me some thoughts - her ability to take a step from the roof without fear or reproach. It is no secret that many girls from Russia today dream of getting married through international acquaintance with a foreigner - this method is quite real and accessible, thanks to the high-quality work of these services. However, it is much more difficult and majestic to first step off the roof, go to an unfamiliar country, and find personal happiness with your hard work and talent.

Everyone who has become the owner of at least one work by Anna Razumovskaya has brought into their home the warmth and extraordinary energy that the artist’s paintings emit. Anna's name is among the three best masters in North America in such a complex direction as Figurative art. 
"Good afternoon! Only now I realized that I haven’t let you know yet: they got your job. My portrait is great! The husband ordered it to be hung in the living room, then went to the workshop and ordered a gold border. Later he placed the painting under special glass that does not reflect the sun's rays.
In the evenings, after finishing work, he sits in his favorite chair. Smiling, he looks at the picture and at me, and says that he loves us both. Everyone who sees this portrait is surprised and wants to know who painted it. I am happy to give them your website, Anna. I wish you all the best!” 
There are hundreds of letters like this. Everyone who has become the owner of at least one work by Anna Razumovskaya (and today there are already collectors of them) has brought into their home the warmth and the extraordinary energy that the artist’s paintings emit. 
What words can convey the fleeting nature of mood, dance, light, “caught” by a brush in a seemingly elusive moment? And is it necessary to talk about what real art and talent are when all this can be seen with your own eyes? 
We were lucky. Art lovers have been waiting all year for the next Art Expo in New York and Atlanta - the two largest exhibitions in North America. There, in her pavilion, Anna presents the latest collections of works along with other world-famous artists. During the five days of work, more than 40,000 visitors come to the Art Expo, and among them are representatives of the largest galleries in the world. Many of them offer solo exhibitions of Anna Razumovskaya, as was recently the case in Dayton, Ohio. The paintings “go away”, barely having time to unpack... 
And we can come to the Anna Art Publishing gallery at almost any convenient time and feel for ourselves the attractive power of the works and the charm of its owners. The atmosphere of the gallery, perhaps the most spacious I have seen in Toronto, is the least reminiscent of high society. Communication with the gallery owners Anna and Evgeniy - seemingly spoiled by the attention of the high society of art connoisseurs - is easy and relaxed, which also brings joy from the fact that they are one of their own. No one here rolls their eyes as they rant about the artist's exclusive mission, his destiny to influence the minds of today and future generations. 
“Everything that I managed to achieve in seven years of work in Canada,” says Anna, “was done thanks to the people who surround me and who took on organizational concerns. Applications for participation in international exhibitions, loading and unloading, customs, correspondence with real and potential buyers (this is North America, Europe, Hong Kong, and Australia), constant website support - believe me, a day is not enough. During this time, about seven thousand original works and copyright copies were sold. Was it possible to cope with this alone?
- Isn’t it a pity to part with the paintings? Many artists compare them with their children. 
- How can you feel sorry if they were originally intended for people? Yes, I love them very much, my soul is invested in them, part of my life is lived with them, but I know that they continue their independent life in the warm and cozy homes of my customers. 
- Anna, I know that your name is among the three best masters in North America in such a complex direction as Figurative art. It is probably easier for an artist to draw than to explain how it is possible to achieve such a graceful bend of the body, or a majestic turn of the head, but still, where did such a school come from, where did they learn this?
- Until I was seventeen, I didn’t even think about anything “high.” 
After school, the parents decided that the most acceptable hobby for their daughter would be drawing. “They admitted me” to the art department of Rostov University. I must say, I quickly got the hang of it, and by the fifth year I finally realized that this was mine, and my thesis turned out to be the best in the competition and was bought by the Dutch. Studying painting in Germany and Holland gave me a lot, where I mastered rare techniques of painting and drawing. But the biggest school was Canada, where you had to survive and do exactly what you really know how to do well. Best school- that's life. 
- How much time does it take to create a picture?
- On average, a few weeks and... twenty years of my experience. When the plot is “conceived” in the head, the details and the color scheme are thought out - it’s up to the technique. I paint quite quickly, and, as a rule, I work with several canvases at once. 
- The main “heroes” of your paintings are the figures of women, dancing couples, flowers, landscapes. And here is this portrait of a famous American actress Thurman's minds stand apart - what is it? 
- This is a private order for her birthday... Portrait painting complex, but incredibly interesting. Here it is not enough to achieve external similarity, you need to see the character of a person, convey his psychological mood. 
A professional artist should be able to draw everything. And if we talk about the concept of art, then, in our opinion, it should not be separated from the needs of people. Many people are looking for paintings that could “fit” into the interiors of their homes and offices, and not only decorate them, but also create a certain style. We help them in this search and provide free art consultations. 
One of important stages– selection of a frame that can equally complement the picture, emphasizing all its advantages, and “kill” it if bad choice. We are glad that we have established strong connections with Larson – Juhl and Roma companies. Today they are the first in the ranking of frame manufacturing companies. Sometimes it happens the other way around: a person likes some work so much that the interior is rebuilt to accommodate it, the walls are repainted. Our gallery is not only our paintings. We began to collect a collection of paintings and sculptures of the best modern masters. I would like to make sure that both people who come here and those who look at the Internet site have the opportunity to have a wide selection of samples different styles and art directions. 
- What are the prices for your paintings? Can ordinary (I almost said Soviet) people approach this work?
- The prices for our works are quite affordable, in addition, we offer original copies. Only highly experienced specialists are able to distinguish them from the originals, the technique of image transfer, complemented by the artist’s brush, is so clearly developed. These are full-fledged works with an autograph and a certificate from the artist, but they cost significantly, sometimes ten times less. Their number is strictly limited, which means that after some time they acquire the same investment value as the original. 
A huge disadvantage of blogging Many people write about burnout, unstable income and lack of understanding of the environment. But these are still flowers, I tell you! The most difficult thing is that now I always have nothing to wear. Judge for yourself: on any trip, even if it’s for a couple of days, you need a lot new clothes, because the photos are awesome! Well, things that are already in the photo become disposable. Read to the end, there is a surprise waiting for you. I have said many times that the Russian ASOS saves me in this regard - the store @toptop.ru Only here...
Unexpectedly about something important! Today we were walking with the girls in the park and came across a lecture by my dear mother @kasamaraa By the way, @kasamara_va is the vice-rector of the Higher School of Economics, a scientist, researcher, teacher and mother of three beautiful children! Valeria spoke about building relationships with a child and gave a lot useful tips. I’m not a mother yet and for me this is a different universe (let’s be honest), but even I was very interested! In many ways, I looked at the mistakes of our parents from a different angle... You know when...
Gap year This is what we are definitely missing For those who are in the tank - this is an unplanned vacation that is taken between school and university (or while studying) to travel, work, volunteer, or all three. Probably, if at the age of 17 I had the opportunity to slow down, think and rethink everything, I would not have spent almost 6 years studying a profession in which I had not worked even a day. But for our mentality and life, this is unrealistic, what do you think? IN Lately often...
Is it true that there are prostitutes and drug dealers there? On the main tourist street?! My friend recently asked me this question about Barcelona. Answering the question: yes and no, Barcelona is not far from freedom-loving Amsterdam, but to call La Rambla the main tourist street? Pfft, this is that garbage dump where people are always crowded. I felt offended that many tourist routes are so wretched and banal, and I decided to make my #mustsee list of at least the most photogenic places (yes, my...
Painting 02/19/2017
Dear readers, it’s still winter outside, but I already really want colors, warmth and sunlight, the body asks for movement, free dance. And I'm in a special mood today. I invite you to look at the paintings of the talented artist Anna Razumovskaya.
I met her not so long ago. And again our magazine Scents of Happiness helped me with this. When I'm looking for an artist for a magazine, I review a lot. This is how my meeting with Anna Razumovskaya took place. We haven’t used the pictures in the magazine yet, but the topic of the blog article came up. I'll tell you a little about the artist herself.
Anna Razumovskaya - famous artist, one of the three best masters of North America in the direction of Figurative art (figurative art). Anna was born in Russia, after school she entered the Rostov University art department at the insistence of her parents. But I quickly fell in love artistic activity and by the end of the university she realized that painting was her life’s work and calling.
Further studies took place in Belgium, Holland and Germany. “But the biggest school was Canada, where you had to survive and do exactly what you really know how to do well. The best school is life,” says Anna.
Fast, easy, bright. Paintings by Anna Razumovskaya
On average, it takes her several weeks to create a painting, and as the artist writes, “twenty years of my experience.” She paints quite quickly, and, as a rule, works with several canvases at once. Paints pictures in color, charcoal and sepia, sketches (sketches).
Anna Razumovskaya has her own gallery in Toronto and constantly participates in international exhibitions. And you and I can admire them on website of the artist Anna Razumovskaya
“Fast, easy, bright. This is how I paint, how I live. My art is a reflection of my life, a reflection of myself...” Anna Razumovskaya.
The artist has many orders. Here is a letter from the owner of her work.
"Good afternoon! Only now I realized that I haven’t let you know yet: they got your job. My portrait is great! The husband ordered it to be hung in the living room, then went to the workshop and ordered a gold border. Later he placed the painting under special glass that does not reflect the sun's rays.
In the evenings, after finishing work, he sits in his favorite chair. Smiling, he looks at the picture and at me, and says that he loves us both. Everyone who sees this portrait is surprised and wants to know who painted it. I am happy to give them your website, Anna. I wish you all the best!”
Anna receives a lot of such letters. Everyone who has become the owner of at least one work by Anna Razumovskaya (and today there are already collectors of them) has brought into their home the warmth and the extraordinary energy that the artist’s paintings emit.
To start viewing the paintings, I would like to invite you to read the wonderful lines from Tatyana Dibrova, which are in tune with the topic of the article.
Sensual dance of the soul
Today I will write the music of my Soul...
From the notes of spring, sunny and clear,
From the fabulously beautiful bird trills,
And from the languid silence of transparent silence.
I will add passionate languor to the music.
The sparkle of beautiful eyes, stupidity and excitement...
The stars are magical too bright light,
Washed by dew, ruby dawn.
The sound of my soul flows with the attraction of tender passion,
The flower of desire breathes in the darkness of the night...
The rain will cry in time with the gusts of boundless tenderness,
With a languid fire it shyly beckons...
Let the music of the star's soul flow like twinkling,
It will flow with a light trail of exciting joy in the blood.
It will merge in unison with the birds with heavenly chirping,
And it will tremble with the pre-dawn radiance in the ghostly distance.
And the soul will flow again with ardent words...
Sadness and the burden of silent sadness will melt into the haze.
The last splash of the coral dawn, -
And the trembling sound flies into the sky...
Now let's look at the paintings of Anna Razumovskaya. The beauty of the body, movement in dance, passion, music in all forms - these themes are eternal, popular and perfectly suited to the artist’s brushes.
Tango Ballad - Ballad of Tango
Dance of body and soul. A surge of emotions, passion, a swing of a skirt that creates vibrations in the air. Clear, rapid movements, excitement, a sharp turn of the head, bending of the body. The dancers' skirts resemble flower petals surrounding a delicate core.
It’s not immediately clear: there are three women in the picture or one in constant motion. It rather resembles a photograph; the dynamics are conveyed very accurately. I want to join this live dance!
Timeless Journey - Endless movement
Ballet is a great and beautiful art. From the audience we look at the action in fascination, without thinking about the underside in the form of grueling training, injuries, concentration of will, strict diets and restrictions, tears of disappointment and resentment. Rehearsals, rehearsals... Sleep overtook the girl in a moment of rest, not in the most comfortable position. But a ballerina remains a ballerina even in a dream: a fragile body, a graceful curve of the neck, an elongated leg in pointe shoes. Let's move away, let's not interfere with the rest, perhaps right now, in a dream, the girl is dancing her swan part.
Sleeping Beauty - Sleeping Beauty
An amazing picture, very delicate, woven from reflections, soaked in the sun, light, bright, almost transparent. Girl and violin. Classic. Perhaps at this moment a masterpiece is born in her heart. Just a little more, and it will flow into your fingers, to the bow, and flow into the world, to you and me. Let's listen. It seems to me that we will now hear a song flowing from the heart, if not ours, then the one who released his into the universe.
Romance With A Violin - Romance with a violin
A minute of calm has passed, and the music sounds again, the strings sing. A moment of ecstasy. One gets the feeling that the cellist is not playing, but dancing a passionate dance together with her instrument.
The relationship between a man and a woman is a favorite theme of artists. Passions boil in it and emotions lash out, there is reciprocity and irresponsibility, heat and cold. There is trust and friendship in it.
All You Need Is Love - All you need is love
Proximity - Proximity
Hold Me Close - Snuggle me closer
Anna Razumovskaya's paintings are emotional, expressive, they do not show a frozen picture, but action, be it dance, emotional impulses, some kind of choice, experience or relaxation. The heroes of the paintings live, search, we feel like witnesses to a fragment of their life.
Heartbeat - Heartbeat
The artist’s canvases convey mood, energy, and sometimes tension.
Emphasis - Accent
How pleasant it is to plunge into summer memories on a frosty day, to feel the light veil of the breeze, a burning kiss ray of sunshine, the smell of warmed meadow grasses. Indulge in blissful relaxation with the girl on the canvas.
A Splendid Day - Magnificent day
The artist’s archive contains many portraits of famous personalities, both past and present, most of which are private commissions. “Portrait painting is difficult, but incredibly interesting. Here it is not enough to achieve external similarity, you need to see the character of a person, convey his psychological mood.”
Nostalgic - Nostalgic
The Leader - Leader
I like inclusions in the portraits of Anna Razumovskaya, as if from another painting, a different texture, a different style. There is a feeling of a face being reflected in glass or in a glossy cover that carries its own theme.
Essense Of A Woman
The artist is a master of color. Bright, rich colors and clear lines, or one dominant color, or even a hint of color, expressed in charcoal or sepia, and even a hint of drawing as such - we find all this in the work of Anna Razumovskaya.
RHAPSODY - Rhapsody
Anna Razumovskaya’s archive contains many minimalist paintings drawn in charcoal and sepia, as well as sketches - just sketches, but created by the artist’s hand they are incredibly self-sufficient.
