Polina Gutorova
When you become an adult

When you become an adult
acrylic on canvas, 40 x 30cm, 2021

Description:

A series of events when you learn to trust the world by exposing yourself. In this fragility lies youth, the innocence of which one wants to preserve.

"And if you become an adult,

And not even thin at all,

I will love you just the same

As in our first Summer "(D.Ar.)

About the artist:

Polina Gutorova was born and raised in Moscow.

Her path to painting was long and arduous. Most of her adolescence and early adulthood was devoted to her studies, getting one education after another, and work that does not bring pleasure. The question “Is this really what I want to do all my life?” Constantly tormented my soul. An extremely vulnerable nature, experiencing and letting everything through herself, simply turned out to be superfluous in the callous world of money, finance and gloomy faces. Due to some peculiarities, life difficulties and vain attempts to find oneself, the first paintings took on life when Polina was well over thirty. Then she first picked up a brush and got acquainted with oil. It was then that all of Polina's dreams, romanticism and touching found a way out on the canvases.

There are no random pictures in Polina's work. Each one carries with it deep emotions. Whether it is happiness, pain, experience, or the highest bliss. But the main thing that unites all works is love. After all, this is the only, most valuable feeling in our life.
