About Marina Krasnitskaya
"Painting is not a hobby, a profession or a passion. It is my doppelganger, my conscience, my second self," says painter Marina Krasnitskaya about the daily confrontation with her ideas and artistic visions.
Love, longing, hope: Marina Krasnitskaya makes great emotions the subject of her pictures. The Russian-born painter, who has lived in Germany since 1994, usually lets the emotions take shape in female figures or in abstract images. In her depictions, she combines elements of the folk art of her homeland with her own formal language.
"Picasso said that the work you paint is a way of journaling. That's exactly how I feel: each of my works is like capturing moments full of emotions and feelings. Each painting is deeply personal, each piece is 'me' – in very different forms and colours."
In addition to her work as a graphic designer and web designer, Marina Krasnitskaya maintains and develops the clear, Russian visual language and folk culture in her paintings. Because of their colourfulness, the motifs, which range from cubist to fantastic, are reminiscent of other famous Russian artists such as Malevich or Chagall. Krasnitskaya's paintings are surrounded by a dreamlike aura and set a contemporary monument to Russian fairytale culture and symbolism.
Depiction of typical scenes from daily life in painting, with distinctions between rural, bourgeois, and courtly genres.
The genre reached its peak and immense popularity in Dutch paintings of the 17th century. In the 18th century, especially in France, the courtly and gallant painting became prominent, while in Germany, a more bourgeois character developed.
Giclée = derived from the French verb gicler "to squirt, to spray".
The Giclée method is a digital printing process. It is a high-resolution, large-format print produced with an inkjet printer using special different-coloured dye- or pigment-based inks (usually six to twelve). The inks are lightfast, meaning they are resistant to harmful UV light. They provide a high level of nuance, contrast, and saturation.
The Giclée process is suitable for art canvases, handmade paper and watercolour paper as well as silk.
