Originals:
Fine art for galleries, museums, and art collectors

Originals for art collectors, museums, and galleries: unique art pieces that are rare and involve a lot of manual work by the artist.
Svetlana Petrova is an established and known artist taking part in personal and group art exhibitions in museums and galleries throughout the world. Here you can find original art on sale directly at our shop, or at galleries with whom the artist works.

Originals are:

Oil paintings: the artist herself paints oil on canvas her digitally conceived image in the style of great masters, using historical materials, adding unique details to it according to her imagination. These pieces are unique and rare. Even if the artist paints the same subject, as Leonardo’s Mona Lisa with her cat Zarathustra, every painting differs in details and becomes a unique piece of art. Svetlana creates oil paintings on her own inspiration or on demand
Mixed media are artworks that combine printing and painting. Original digital pieces are printed on natural linen canvas as used for paintings. Then the artist finishes them manually with a brush, applying texture gels and oil colors. Thus the resulting work looks like a real historical painting, even in texture and color, and it seems that a master of the past really painted Zarathustra the Cat in it.
A limited edition is a series of art prints that are limited in number. Our edition sizes vary is 8. The artist creates an original digital file for each edition, which varies in detail from the file used for printing reproductions (canvas prints and posters). Once the edition is sold out, the artist destroys the file and new prints of this image will not be produced ever again, and the printed series become rare.
Lenticular printing is a hi-end technology to produce printed images with the ability to change or move as the image is viewed from different angles. The technology is very complicated and needs special software, materials, and a lot of work to be successful. Lenticular prints come in limited editions. The production of the edition of 8 may take several months. The result is stunning: lenticular prints look like “magic paintings” from Harry Potter books in real life.
