Svetlana Rusanova-Kagan( But)

About the artist

I was born in the Soviet Union, in the city of Krivoy Rog in what is now Ukraine. From childhood I loved to draw, but life turned out so that I chose the profession of a pharmacist. In 2015, I returned to the passion of my youth and began to paint in oils. It really fascinated me and became my life's work. I like to paint landscapes, flowers, animals. I put a piece of my heart into every work. Memories are often associated with the painting. She painted seascapes in the south of France. And in Russia, I planted a peach from the stone in the garden. A big tree grew and the blush of the fruit I gathered in a bowl, which remained in memory of my mother. And I painted a still life, Pitted Peaches. They are depicted in this bowl with a chip. In September 2018, my exhibition of still lifes was held in Moscow, in the gallery "Romanov Dvor". Since December 2018 I have been living and writing in Australia.
