Beautiful Italy, charming Verona. Wandering in the streets of this city, the images of Romeo and Juliet unconsciously come in mind. Everything here is saturated with love. And the Roman amphitheater?! This is living history of magnificent opera festivals that took place here! Architecture, history, and the spirit of the city... That's what inspired me to create this painting.

I have been working as a fashion designer for over 30 years. And the history of the costume has always been interesting to me. This is a collective image of a secular European lady of the late 18th century. This is a technique of cold batik on silk with applique elements.
