Biography from Ella Walton Richardson Fine Art:
| Lyuba Titovets grew up in St. Petersburg, Russia. She started her private painting lessons at the age of five, and at seven she was selected for the Children's Art Club in Leningrad, now St. Petersburg. She went on to the State University in St. Petersburg and received a BA and MFA in the College of Fine Arts.
Lyuba's colorful still lifes are based on intricate settings she arranges in her studio. Her style is reminiscent of her country's folk painting traditions. Her subject matter is primarily drawn from her vivid imagination, although she often makes use of old books and photographs to enhance her ideas. She describes her paintings as "too symbolic to be realistic and too realistic to be symbolic."
Less than ten years after arriving in the United States from Russia, Lyuba has received awards and honors including the National Oil Painters of America competition, Great American Artists exhibition in Cincinnati, Ohio and the Westminster Abbey show in London.
Her name is included in the Archive of the National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington, D.C. Additionally, Lyuba's work is in public and private collections in the United States and seven other countries, and she has illustrated several books. |
