“I would describe my work as fine art with a decorative sensibility, rooted in realism but often infused with a touch of abstraction. ”
Margarita likes reimagining what she sees and often replaces real-life colors with imagined ones to express feeling, energy, or atmosphere rather than literal representation. Nature is Margarita’s inspiration, but emotion guides her palette. Through this intuitive use of color, she aims to create vibrant, layered compositions that invite viewers to pause, feel, and see familiar subjects in a new and unexpected light.
Margarita’s art is an invitation to step into the embrace of nature, to feel the gentle breeze, hear the rustling leaves, and witness the intricate dance of life. It is her humble endeavor to share the profound beauty that exists all around us and inspire others to embark on their own journey of exploration, discovering the magic that lies within the embrace of nature.
