Self Taught Belgium Artist Liuba Efremian, Textured Acrylic Paintings

My name is Liuba Efremian, I am a self-taught artist, based in Belgium. I had drawn since I was 2, and played around with watercolors and acrylics a time or two, but it didn’t really “take” for me. I fell in love with the texture of acrylic paint, the give and take between the brush and stretched canvas.

There’s something honest and beautiful about the art of painting. I also practice watercolor art, when I don’t have enough time for acrylics. I spend a lot of time in front of a computer for my lessons, so pushing pigment around on a stretched canvas makes me feel alive. I love textured surfaces so I use modeling gels, acrylics and gold leaves go get on a canvas what I imagined.

Now I’m in search of my own style of art. This is a long-standing way, and I believe that there’s no other option but just to exceed all expectations. ~ Liuba Efremian
