Galina Shagdyr, a finalist in the portfolio contest organized by the “Kraski zhizni” Foundation, is entering the final stretch of her creative journey!
The artist traveled to us from Kyzyl, the capital of the Republic of Tuva. During her plein air trip to St. Petersburg, Galina managed to capture many beautiful locations on canvas; her collection now includes the atmospheric Arboretum and the picturesque Pavlovsk Park. Each piece is not merely a landscape, but a unique mood captured in the moment.
The exchange of experience proved equally valuable: Galina met local artists, and these encounters sparked new ideas and inspiration while fostering warm professional connections. Such connections are among the joys that make creative trips truly special. Participating in competitions and plein air events always provides a powerful boost for growth, offering new locations, fresh impressions, feedback, and the opportunity to view one’s work from a different perspective. It is a chance to reveal new facets of one’s talent and connect with like-minded people.
We invite everyone to follow Galina’s creative journey and find inspiration in her work—swipe through the carousel to see the paintings created during this amazing trip!
