SUMMARY:Gallery Night: "Art: Images\, Thoughts\, Feelings\, & Emotions" by Emilya Padlowski
DESCRIPTION:Emilya Padlowski is an award-winning artist\, interior designer 
 and art historian.\n\nShe has a multicultural background which manifests 
 itself in her style and her art. She was born in Poland\, but spent her 
 formative years growing up in the Soviet Union under the careful\, 
 ever-present eyes of the communist government\; this gives her knowledge of 
 life and different cultures and a depth to her art.\n\nTrained as a Russian 
 and French Literature and Language teacher in Baku\, Azerbaijan\, she had 
 to adjust her life after immigrating to the United States. Her love for art 
 brought her to the Montclair State University (NJ) where she received her 
 Master’s degrees in Fine Arts and Art History. She also studied design 
 and painting at the International American University and the Marshutz 
 School of Art in Aix-en-Provence\, France.\n\nShe has now dedicated herself 
 to painting and making soft sculptures from recycled materials.\n\nHer soft 
 sculptures\, both whimsical and quirky\, are based on mythical stories\, 
 operas and fairytales. Emilya’s paintings have a very personal cast: the 
 marriage of Russian\, Azerbaijani and Eastern European cultures. Her art is 
 unpredictable and uniquely attractive. Her paintings sometimes express 
 sadness and despair\, while at other times they are bursting with happiness 
 and colors. She calls her art a “symbolic fantasy”. Each painting 
 contains a certain symbolic meaning. Her paintings while contemporary and 
 often non-conformist\, are also influenced by classical literature and 
 art.\n\nWhile visiting South Carolina\, she was charmed by the beauty of 
 its nature and found inspiration everywhere: majestic mountains\, 
 enchanting forests\, flowers and gifts from the garden often became a 
 subject matter for her paintings.\n\nAfter permanently relocating to South 
 Carolina from the NY metropolitan area\, she became an actively exhibiting 
 member of Waccamaw Arts & Crafts Guild\, Charleston Artist Guild and 
 Seacoast Artist Guild.\n\nPresently she resides in Conway\, SC with her 
 husband and little cat Lin
