Ramziya Shakirova

Ramziya Shakirova is an artist residing in Virginia, US. She works primarily in oils and prefers to paint in the contemporary impressionism style; however, she works in other styles as well, including abstractionism and surrealism. She is a self-taught artist, and has been involved in arts since childhood, from drawing to creative writing. For her, the language of fine art, through its endless combination of shapes, colors and textures, is the universal language to reach hearts and communicate across cultures, as well as the best way to express her admiration for Nature, which is an endless source of inspiration for her.
