Bio | Art by Love

Hi there! My name is Love, which is literally translated from east Slavic languages as "Love." I was born in Ukraine and grew up in Latvia, but currently call the UK home. Drawing has been a passion of mine since childhood, and I have spent countless hours perfecting my skills and honing my craft. Also, I am proud to say that my work has been recognized with awards in the art community.

As an artist, I am known for my highly detailed animal and pet portraits, which are created using only the finest professional colour pencils and pastels. These mediums allow me to capture the unique personalities and characteristics of each animal with stunning accuracy and vibrancy. I also enjoy experimenting with watercolours from time to time to add an extra layer of depth and interest to my work.

Many of my customers have been impressed with the realism, and exquisite details of the eyes depicted in my artwork, which are said to reflect the characters of the animals and appear full of life. I take great care in selecting high-quality surfaces that are designed for archival, ensuring that each piece will stand the test of time.

I had the privilege to successfully take a part in a competition charity events which were organised by Explorers Against Extinction that aims to protect endangered species. For three consecutive years from 2019 to 2021, my drawings were selected for a Collection of 100 and also shortlisted to the dozen Finalists of the Years 2020 and 2021. In 2022 I was honoured to join the Invitational Collection.

Also Supporting All Artists (SAA) competition finalist "Artist of the year" in 2021 and 2022.

If you have any questions or would like to learn more about my work, please don't hesitate to get in touch. I would be happy to speak with you.
