My name is Alla Kosteletskaya, I was born in 1963 in Belarus, I live and work in Minsk. I was 55 years old when I trusted the call of my soul and immersed myself in creative processes...
When I start a new work, I intuitively feel what I want to convey, and then I simply trust the spontaneity of the texture and color spots, which I give completeness and meaning to at the finish. It is like a challenge that I throw to myself every time and calm down, having answered it with a completed work. This process gives me satisfaction because, starting to paint even “difficult and disturbing”, I complete the picture with silence, peace and understanding of the situation...
My works are in private collections: Belarus, Russia, Europe, USA. Since 2021 I have been actively participating in exhibitions: Minsk, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Budapest, Parma, Ankara, Beijing are the cities where my works were exhibited. At the International Competition ART EXCELLENCE AWARDS (Art. Perfection. Recognition) my work “Purifying Fire” received the Silver Medal of the competition in the Nomination - Painting, category - Professional. In March 2021 my painting "On the Edge" took part in the International Exhibition "Vulnerable" held by People & Paintings Gallery in New York, where it received the main prize of the gallery.
