ROMANOVA SVETLANA
She has been drawing since her childhood. First - in the studio for small children, then - in the Art School for youngsters. When she was 14 she went to the Russian Art College of Petersburg where she stayed in the class of painting for 4 years. Then she finished The Academy of Design studying art glass, stained-glass windows and porcelain.
Why glass?
Stained-glass window images possess truly magic attributes; the luminescence of color glass fills the space with light and patches of light, which makes it so special.
I use lenses and cut glass and in my opinion only the stained-glass window possess the special decorative properties and originality. I like to work with greater formats, both in painting, and in glass - this is my ‘love scope’. I never really did any miniature glass, but I draw with pleasure miniatures of porcelain
Painter or stained-glass windows-artist?
The painter is my first formation … the second is the glass-artist.
Painting gives certain freedom to the artist. The creation of stained-glass window is often connected with certain interior and should be coordinated with other decorative elements in same style and should have enough illumination. To switch between various materials is stimulating; one material gives the ideas for another.
Inspiration?
Nature, sometimes fiction, litterature and the supernatural. Skt. Petersburg inspires in a very special way because of its white nights. I love making travels - they often give new ideas and impressions.
Technique?
I have not invented my own technique. And my hand reaches for a brush or searches for other tools when there is a concrete idea which should be realized in the given material. The image thought up for a stained-glass window, in painting would never look as sharply and intensively, in my opinion. The painters who do not know about it often do not understand this difference. It seems to them, that any picture can be transformed into a stained-glass window … but glass has its laws.
