| ARTIST'S STATEMENT How often do you come across an unexpected scene which captivates your attention, with its breathtaking beauty, unusual lighting or heartbreaking moodiness? You want to freeze this moment and preserve it in your memory. But memory is illusive and the image which has struck you a moment ago pales by the end of the day. Yes, you can photograph these memorable scenes, but the images produced are often less than satisfactory, not being able to reflect your emotions. For me, painting is an answer to this dilemma. Not only are you trying to recreate this unforgettable site, with the mood and emotions it has evoked in you at that moment, but also you have an opportunity to explore your subjects lovingly and studiously, as would be impossible otherwise. I believe painting is a very natural human activity. As Wittgenstein said, “When the eye sees beauty, the hand wants to draw it”. It’s true, the product of your labor is often far from perfect, but still it gives you a tremendous satisfaction to be involved in this process. ARTISTS'S BIOGRAPHY Inna Lazarev was born and educated in Moscow, Russia. In the USA, she studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the Studio Incamminati, Fleisher Art Memorial – all in the Philadelphia area. Inna is a juried member of the Delaware Valley Art League. Her work can be found in several private collections in the USA, Netherlands and Russia. For the last ten years she’s participated in many juried group exhibitions and won numerous prizes. |
