Machiavelli with black cats

My name is Valerie and I am a self taught artist. My technique is another attempt to go beyond. Since childhood, we are taught to do everything correctly, a coloring book needs to be painted carefully without beyond the contours … but it is much more interesting and emotional to draw with several felt-tip pens at the same time and in different directions! In my work, a huge place is occupied by the image of animals, especially cats. Since childhood, I have had allergies and it has progressed. At 25, I could no longer be in the room where the cat is, as I began to choke. It was scary. Now I have cats in my house that sleep on my head. For me, these animals have become a symbol of the fact that in this world a miracle can become a reality! With my work, I want to remind people that we live in order to enjoy and enjoy the beauty of the world around us. To take care, help and protect. And not to destroy, not to suppress and not to subjugate. To shine with happiness and give it to others. My paintings are in private collections in Ukraine, Greece, Germany, Canada, USA and geography is expanding. With love Valerie
