Anna Potyavina Sea Pebble Paintings
Stavropol-based artist Anna creates paintings from sea pebbles on white cardboard. Creating pictures from stones in the style of “minimalism”, Anna conveys her view on such important topics as love, friendship, and family. There are also plots with a floral theme and the theme of animals. These pictures have a minimum of detail. And the fewer details in them, the deeper meaning is revealed to everyone who looks and sees. And who feels.
Traditionally, there are two options for the final design of her stone paintings. In particular, in a wooden frame, covered with acrylic paints using the “craquelure” technique and a double voluminous cardboard passe-partout. The second option includes a professional gray plastic baguette with glass and a voluminous double passe-partout.
Living in the southern city of Stavropol, on the seashore, Anna chooses stones for future paintings while walking. The process of creation is unusually exciting, and sorting through already washed stones gives her great pleasure. Just at this time, new ideas are born and inspiration comes.
