Vietnam in motion 1 by Iuliia Razina in Goa Velha

I’m originally from Russia but now living in India. I started out as a photographer. A few years ago, I began turning my photos into acrylic paintings. Now, painting has become my main way of creating. I use my own photos as the base and try to keep the feeling of the original moment while adding something more with paint. I focus on realism and like when a painting feels quiet but still says something. My work is a mix of two things I love—photography and painting—and it’s all about slowing down and looking a little closer.
