Inspiration of Alisa Mustafina! The Cultural Exhibition Center, Vernissage, has opened an art exhibition of a young, talented artist. Her element - landscapes. It is precisely the Nature where the author finds the variety of originality, and the main source of her creative interests. The first solo exhibition of Alisa Mustafina occurred when she was just 13 years old. At that same age, she was awarded a stipend by the fund Young Talents of Prokopyevsk”. Therefore, the further recognition of her artistic talents, via the present exhibition, has not come as a surprise to Alisa's family. Moreover, it has resulted in an amazement; more like a delight.
A quote from one of Alisa's friends:
“Just yesterday, she told me about her paintings; how she creates them, how she incorporates the paints and how she prepares the canvases.”
“It's great! A personal exhibition itself - it's cool!”
“I'm here for the first time. Very interesting. I think that even in the city of Kemerovo, there doesn’t exist such a special facility, where all artists can exhibit their artwork.”
With an occupation of English teacher, it allows Ms. Mustafina vast expanses for further creativity. One of her main interests is to travel, from which she acquires new impressions to apply to her works of art.
A quote from Alisa's teacher:
“She isn't a professional artist yet; she's a dilettante. But, still you can sense professionalism in her artworks.”
“It is simply a blast!”
“This exhibition is a surprise for me, because when Alisa was finishing high school, when she had exams, her creativity was less expressive. And now, freedom! The soul in flight! I am very happy for her!”
It happened, that Ms. Mustafina acquired her inspiration for a solo exhibition while temporarily living far away from the homeland. The canvases are imbued with the scents of the Atlantic Ocean, on the shores of which, in the town of Portland in the US state of Maine, she spent a significant part of her student life. She participated three times in the student exchange program. The ocean and lighthouses always beckoned the artist. Personal acquaintance has left an indelible mark on the soul and on the canvas. The return to home has now opened up new creative perspectives. The artist dreams of seeing the masterpieces by Ivan Aivazovsky and the beauty of the Motherland's native Nature.
A quote from Alisa:
“I love Russia very much! I'm a patriot! I believe that Russia is the Great country! And I dream of continuing my travels across Russia! I have a dream to create an exhibition dedicated to our Russian birch trees, and hopefully this will happen someday.”
Especially, because the Russian birches have brought the young artist recognition. In the international Internet project Seasons, which involved artists from 14 countries, Alisa's landscape, with a Russian accent, was considered the best in the category of Winter.
