About Helen Sviderskis
VISUAL ARTIST, OIL PAINTER. PAST ART CONSERVATOR AND RECKLESS TRAVELER.
Happy Impressions
I was born in Moscow, Russia, and now I am an American citizen and make my home in Miami, Florida. I received my art education at the Center for the Conservation of Fine Arts, named after Academician Grabar, and in private workshops of famous art professors in Moscow. In addition to my career as a painter, I was a fine art conservator and iconographer. I studied painting methods by copying remarkable ancient frescoes, Russian icons, and paintings. I continued my art education by participating in the National Portrait Society seminars and attending lectures in a Master Class in the League of Art Students in New York.
I participated in many art exhibitions in Russia and the USA and am a member of the American Impressionists Society (AIS), Oil Painters of America (OPA), and American Women Artists (AWA)
Artist Statement
Today I get the most inspiration from nature - landscapes and beach scenes observed in Florida, where I live now, and earlier in New York and Pennsylvania. I have traveled to the USA and Europe for most of the past 20 years. Without parting with the camera and taking many pictures, I use them to reference my future paintings. An exciting scene that impressed me and inspired me to create an artwork remains in my memory for a long time. Seascapes, flowers, sunrises and sunsets, reflections on the water, the swaying of leaves in the wind, the observations of rays, clouds, etc. I admire a lot of nature and urban architecture. If given the opportunity, I always try to make sketches in pencil and small oils, which I also use later in the creative process of a larger painting.
Painting method
I start the painting process by mixing natural ground pigments, grinding them by myself from minerals with an alkyd medium, and finishing the painting with oil. It allows me to present my subject in natural and fresh colors. As a former fine art conservator, I know how important it is to use the best materials for the durability and longevity of the painting and always follow that.
To protect the picture from harsh sunlight and dust, I cover the surface with high-quality semi-gloss varnish with UV protection.

Quote from the INTERNATIONAL CONTEMPORARY MASTERS Volume 13 (page 133) magazine published by World Wide Art Books, 2019:
"Knowledge gained in classical painting methods allowed Helen Sviderskis to evolve a technique that enriches her artwork and presents the subject in an aura of light, vibrant color, and freshness.
Her commendable skill, talent, and ability to bring each work to life made her paintings very desirable and are in private and official collections worldwide."
