Lyubovnaya, Regina

Regina Lyubovnaya is a Russian born artist whose first interest in painting was sparked by visits with her grandparents to the National Museum of Art in Moscow.  It was here the painterly realism of the old masters captivated her imagination. At a young age, she was recognized as a gifted painter in Russia.  

In her work, Lyubovnaya searches for a balance between traditional painting and expressive abstraction. Images are not mere illustrations but they become sculptures of paint.  The richness of her paint, the depth of her colors, and the expressiveness of her brushstrokes all create a timeless illusion of reality.

Lyubovnaya’s education includes the Moscow Institute of Arts and Crafts in Russia and the Florence Academy of Art in Italy.  She is also a graduate from Loyola Marymount University and Art Center College of Design.

Currently her paintings are in private collections throughout the world including Russia, United States, UK and various European and Asian countries.

Regina had a one person exhibition at Gallery Russia in 2008 and a one person exhibition in Laguna Beach in September, 2010.
