Galernaya uliza St "At an Artist's House"

About the photo series "At an Artist's House" In February 2007, I visited the house of famous Russian painter Pavel Kuznetsov (1878-1968) in Saratov, Russia. The artist was born and grew up in this house in rural Russia. The house was reconstructed in the 1990s and became Kuznetsov’s memorial estate. In recent years, the place has become a center for the creative work of local artists. They show their work, which is integrated into the historic interiors as well as on the fence around the house. The attic was mostly empty at the time of my visit, showing only an old easel. Curators of the house decided to bring up some river rocks so that visitors could be creative and have some fun playing with them. You can see the pictures I took during my visit in the attic of the Kuznetsov's house. I called the series "At an Artist's House".

Artist’s statement.

Polina Novikova-Kinney, a native of Russia says,  "I have been an amateur photographer since 2005. A few years ago I became interested in photography and used a web-camera, the only tool available at the time, to create fine art portraits of my family members, friends, pet cat, and myself. Once I obtained a real camera, I began taking pictures of almost everything. I now use graphic software to turn photos into artistic images.

 One of the things I like most about taking pictures is the process that begins with an idea of what I am going to take picture of and how the picture develops and changes to create the final image. I usually manipulate pictures later using Photoshop to give the pictures mood and “direction”, creating depth and 3-d effects, stressing certain things and hiding the irrelevant details... I hope to express an emotion or an idea through a photograph and creating that effect is very important to me.

Photography is a way of self- investigation, as well as examining the world and people around me.  I take pictures of things that catch my eye – trees, buildings, people, animals, or some random motifs. I hope that looking at my pictures makes you happy.
