Darya Dolgareva

I am an artist, specializing in painting portraits and figurative art. When I paint, I follow what feels aesthetically natural and let my imagination come to play. Inspired by the Dutch masters, I have incorporated classical technique into the world of contemporary culture and design with modern faces and figures. Connecting the layered painting technique with elements of modernity and using a stroke of the paintbrush as a means of visual language, I would like to express and emphasize the complex beauty of our time.
