2. Hello! My name is Victoria Korzh. I am 16 years old. I live in the hero city of Volgograd and I study at school No 99. Since the early childhood I am fond of drawing. When I was 6 I entered the Fine art studio, and having passed the initial level of training, I was admitted to Children's Art School No. 3. After four years of training there, I successfully graduated from it. I got acquainted with such directions as abstract art, classical and modern art, primitive art, graphic and plastic arts, sculpture, batik and weaving. I participated in many creative competitions, and since recent time I am fond of tailoring.

3. Still life. 2013. (charcoal) My first work in charcoal. Drawing is executed before my final examinations at art school.

4. Still life. 2014. (marker) This drawing won the regional competition of graphics.

5. Anna. 2014. (pencil) This work became my start in drawing portraits. I enjoy to draw portraits of my relatives, friends and simply familiars, because I learn to understand people, their thoughts, feelings and souls.

6. Maria. 2014. (pencil) Portrait of my friend Maria who graduated from Art school with me. For a long time she persuaded me to portray her, but I refused because of my inexperience. Nevertheless, on the termination of Art school, I decided to draw her portrait and gave it to Maria as a keepsake of our friendship and cheerful moments spent together.

7. Mother. 2014. (water-colour pencils) Portrait of my beloved mother which I executed in one of my favourite techniques - water-colour pencils.

12. Autumn. 2015. (oil) Favourite season of my dear granny. The picture is painted as a gift for her.

13. At sunset. 2014. (oil) When I leave somewhere with my family, I try to take my sketch-book, paints and canvases with me whenever possible. This year I was lucky and I managed to impress my feelings at sunset over the Mediterranean Sea. Plain-air work

14. Orchid. 2014. (oil) My harderst and perhaps my beloved creation, on which I represented my favourite flower. I worked on it for 3 months but I do not think that the time was lost in vain.

15. Holy Trinity-St. Sergius Lavra. 2013 (water-colour) Plain-air work. In 2013 some students of our Art school visited Rostov –the- Great. I was amazed and enchanted by the majesty of this Church, the beauty of surrounding and tried to get it down on the canvas.

16. Self-portrait. 2014. (pencil)

17. These were just a few of my numerous works. I put my thoughts, feelings, my mood and my inner world into my hobby. It is not only my hobby…I can say that it’s a great part of my life. Nevertheless, in the future I want to connect my life with some other profession,not an artist, drawing will always be my most favourite hobby. Thanks for your attention!
