Seaside Serenade Painting

My name is Rais, and I am an artist and art educator since 2013. My life journey began with a medical degree and training in psychotherapy, but serious health issues reshaped my path and led me to rediscover my true calling. I decided to pursue my dream and immerse myself in the world of art, establishing my own studio, "Rais Art." Human emotions have always intrigued me as an artist. I aspire to capture the full spectrum of human experiences, from joy to sorrow. In my works, you can find portraits of both happy and tearful individuals. I have developed a particular interest in creating art at the peaks of both joy and sorrow. In 2022, I was compelled to leave Russia due to an aggressive conflict, and this event profoundly influenced my artistic practice. My art has become bolder and now reflects the changes in my life. In addition to interior paintings and joyful scenes, I began to focus on depicting the lives of children during wartime in a series called "Children of War," which carries a pacifist message and encourages contemplation of the consequences of armed conflicts on children. For the past two years, I have dedicated myself to creating art every single day, and I am grateful that you are interested in my work. My art is a means of expressing my thoughts and emotions, and I hope it resonates with you, inspiring reflection and connection.
