Julie Travkina
Hello! I'm an artist. I was born in Kazakhstan, and I want to thank my teachers from the art school for instilling in me a love for art, which taught me to see beauty in simple things. Some events in life can be so unpleasant that you want to escape into the world of beauty and goodness, and at this moment you take up the brush as quickly as in moments of happiness. The desire to see and reflect beauty in the simple little wonders of the world pushes me to create and create. Beauty and kindness of heart will save our world, that's for sure.
Education
Education: St. Petersburg State University and Bard College, Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Art plays a very important role in my life. I love to draw, I really like my work. I tried myself in different directions, starting from creating a logo and identity, creating layouts and ending with oil painting. I love oil, it's my favorite technique. When I am alone with canvas and oil, these are magical moments for me.
Mascots
I am also engaged in the creation of life-size mascots and dolls, for me it is not just a construction of foam rubber and fabric, for me it is a separate independent character, which primarily causes positive emotions in people. Such dolls often delight children and adults. Drawing the initial sketch, I'm already trying to breathe the right message into the image of the costume. I make the eyes, nails and other elements of the doll out of plastic, the rest is artificial fur, fabrics and other materials.
