I have been to Paris several times
And each time it gave me plots for my work. An interesting fact but I would prefer to draw instead of painting.
2020 will be remembered for being a year of pandemic but I will remember it as a year of visiting Paris. While everyone went crazy because of new virus, destiny gave me a chance to fully enjoy this city.
When I returned home and was on lockdown I started working with ink.
Thank goodness tests for the virus were negative. And one more time I thanked life for the opportunities it gave me. I had the very real sense that I was so courageously sent to Paris as well as was returned home in time.
Fun fact was that I went to see Madonna’s concert, which was eventually cancelled, but it turned out that I flew to Paris to paint a new series of art. And that’s all that matters.

Girl’s morning
Marfa always welcomed her morning being nude.
Sun loved her delicious body so Styopa did – an artist that lived in a neighboring house. She often posed for him secretly: for the sake of art and love she wished so much.
Marfa became a character of numerous Styopa’s paintings. And indeed, the girl looked so well on lush fever bed covered with painted cloak.
Montmartre model
Free and open-minded girl could easily become a prostitute as well as a model. Marfa was inspired by the last ones while the first ones remained a mystery to her, thank God!
Once Styopa sent her a card with this drawing from France – the artist knew how to inspire his Russian model that was so fascinated with Paris.
«I can do that too», – Marfa thought and bravely undressed for the next Styopa’s painting.
Do you want?
Styopa returned from France being excited. His another travel abroad strengthened his faith in success. He had a feeling he could play a role in art. And how glad Marfa was: love is love.
That evening Styopa passionately painted unclothed Marfa with Chinese ink. She tried to warm up an artist’s creative fervor playing the role of seducer.

A passionate lover
Posing wasn't that easy. So Marfa became very tired, fell asleep and abandoned all hope of embrace. However the artist did not even want to refuse!
