Sabina, oil on canvas, 18x24 cm, 2008
Ballet is one of the central themes in the work of the talented artist Larisa Akhmadeeva.
The viewer's attention is immediately attracted by the graceful and delicate ballerina’s silhouette. The work is done in the traditional impressionistic manner. The artist prefers to depict not vivid performances and shows, but the life behind the scenes, filled with its emotions and experiences.
The theme of ballet has been always associated with Russia, and especially with Saint-Petersburg, so this painting is not only a creative work, but also a memory of the cultural city.
