Clarity of lines and freedom of color Favorite materials: Escoda brushes, flat Chinese brushes; Saunders Grain Fin paper, Arches Rough, Mijello watercolor. Veneta Docheva was born in 1974 in Sofia. She studied painting on her own. Here is how Veneta tells about herself: "There was only one decent art school in Sofia. I really wanted to go there.

A metal spindle stands out at the girl's feet, reminding us that it was this that led her to this terrible fate. The dress and chair are entwined with roses, because the girl has been sleeping for a century. While Beauty slept, Germany was awakening from a rec...

 🖌️🎨 Birds-maidens Alkonost and Sirin, Gamayun in Slavic mythology Sirin is a messenger of the underworld, a bird personifying dark power, therefore depicted with a sad face and in dark tones. Alkonost is a light bird that brings happiness, depicted with multi-colored wings and a light appearance, sometimes depicted with a scroll in her hands. Gamayun is a prophetic bird. Alkonost, according to the mythology of the East Slavic peoples, is a bird Alkonost with the head and chest of a girl, sometimes depicted in a crown. Another bird from Paradise is described together with her - Sirin, her complete opposite. Both of them have sweet, enchanting voices. Birds-maidens captivate people with their singing so that "the soul leaves the body." But if the singing of Alkonost serves to console the saints, and has a bewitching effect on a person, then the singing of Sirin kills. The nature of their songs is also different - the songs of Alkonost are imbued with light sadness, the songs...
