Ludmila Gopin, born in Minsk, Belorus. Minsk Art College named after A.K. Glebova, Painting Department 1971-1975 Minsk Academy of Fine Art, Monumental and Decorative branch 1975- 1979 Participating Galeries exhibition in Minsk - 1973 Sale painting on Galeries Tel-Aviv - 1993 Exhibition ArtExpo Toronto - 2013 Exhibition ArtExpo NYC - 2014 I am a self -represented artist living in Montreal. My work tends to be intuive, improvised often richy textural and totally variegated. My preoccupation with elements with flowers often blends into abstraction. The automatist, gestural elements in my work has lately become a more central concern. Underlying it allis a need to evoke a reaim I need to struggle through andi habit an opportunity only Painting can offer. I paint using a variety of knife, brush, direct hands on, glazing impasto and other techniques.
