My Greatest inspiration: Katya Maleev

in #art6 years ago

Imagine you're in the art gallery or museum exhibiting most of the famous artists ever. I am living in such a museum at home. Because I live with true genius. Meet my wife Katya Maleev.

I was showing some drawing basics and Adobe Photoshop technique to her in the beginning 7 years ago. First she was drawing similar to my style and gradually she developed her own.

Everybody who have some courage will tell that she is drawing much better than me. I completely agree with that statement. Now I am learning from her a lot. My own illustrations are more commercial like. There is more profession in my works if you know what I mean. Her works are more true art.

Though she accepts commercial orders sometimes but still I told her not to work but just enjoy creating real art and learn as much as possible till we both have such an opportunity.

I am dreaming she will start creating children's books soon. This is also a dream for myself but since I am more commercial and there are really low budgets for the books so it's more possible for us to create our own books one day.

Katya don't like to spend much time online and she is not comfortable in English. So I never had a chance to convince her to join Steem but at least she agreed I could post her works here. All the earnings from this post will be given to her. I promise :)

Here is her Instagram and personal site.

Yes ... Not always a teacher more clever than his pupils, creative students will usually be smarter than his teacher.

I suppose you mean a good successful teacher always makes his pupil to be even more genius than himself, right? 😂

Yes, I am a teacher in Elementary School, and already many of my former students have become successful people.

Ее работы чудесные! Это действительно искусство и вдохновение. Так нежно и красиво. Передайте Кате, что я восхищена ее милыми картинами!

Спасибо большое! Я вчера прочитал ей этот пост, она расхохоталась от восторга и сразу же побежала рисовать.

This is SO SWEET @dunsky! I totally see what you mean by her art is 'true art'. Your styles are similar but hers is softer, understated and muted. It's beautiful! She should join Steemit anyway. Art needs no English. Hugs to both of you!

wooowwww nice post dear..good job keep it up.😍

Классные иллюстрации! Поздравляю

А я то думал, куда Вы с голоса пропали. А вот Вы где оказывается. И правильно! Тут Вы хоть достойную плату получаете за свои умопомрачительные работы. Не удержался и подписался!))) На голосе я @rikimaru.

I love when I find a new artist to follow. Everyday I find at least one and you've just helped me with that!
Your wife is EXTREMELY talented. I hope she knows that. You've got a keeper.

Thank you so much for sharing this with us!

Have a beautiful day.

Amazing that your life partner is also a talented artist. Perfect couple!!

now your art is an inspiration for many other artists, amazing work

Love the ilustrations bro. They transmit peace and lightness by just seeing them! Keep it going!

Her work is amazing!! I'm in loooove!!
Is the work digital or traditional? It's hard to tell sometimes. I hope she makes some children's books as well, I would want them on my bookshelves!
She uses such a great balance of flat design and texture and GOD i love it!
thank you so much for showing it here!!

я буду в ряду первых покупателей книг Кати! Жду их не меньше, чем вы сами! :-)
