This month I’m launching my A-Abstraction-Architecture topic at @kunstfuck_art_residency . It’s mostly inspired by my own series of Budapest landscapes, as well as by Russian and Hungarian avant-garde artists Popova and Kassak, and my fav American painter Richard Diebernkorn, of course. We’ll go to the most discreet places in Bauhaus and Secession style , and create our own painterly architectonics inspired by the rythm of the city. Enrol by pm, and join us this Saturday! #kunstfuckartresidency #painterlyarchitectonics #lajoskassák #richarddiebernkorn #paintingclasses (at Fuga - Budapesti Építészeti Központ) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTj2l0Boasr/?utm_medium=tumblr

A view to Szentkiraly utca for a flat with the view 👌 thnx @turbocolorhu I have very warm memories back of my A-Abstraction-Architecture course at @kunstfuck_art_residency seeing the piece #budapest #budapestarchitecture #architechtonics (at 91.Stúdió) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLu-EjxBXbC/?igshid=1ou5q881cq6xm

This is the process of painting the portrait of Amrita Sher-Gil from my ‘Famous Hungarians’ series. The episode is taken from my trilogy about three Hungarian female artist, primarily shot for @huncult . The English version with technical insights is available by the link in profile, free for 14 days after the registration. I’ve spent 3 months on this project so far. Lots of care, love and creative vibes were invested 👩🏻‍🎨 Lots of thanks to @john_francis62 @mashakamenetskaya @musicamoralia @tyagipallava and Erazo Gail for participating in the project (at Magyar Nemzeti Galéria, Hungarian National Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLbXNBgBuVU/?igshid=1q76ozeo1ro2g

I’ve just found one of the most beautiful photos of me in process from the last summer. Usually, i look waaaay too different while painting, in a dirty medicine uniform, no makeup, just smoky eyes 😉sometimes. So when my colleagues upload the photos like that, half naked-sexy-pexy, i usually don’t believe them. Because the true art comes from the soul (full of dráma in my case, therefore the piece I’m retouching here is a total meaningless shit). But Instagram loves being a nice cover of us, so here we are - in one of the nicest studios of my life and the most amazing space in Budapest. #devochkinasart #painting #budapest (at Budapest, Hungary) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBnoUe9jVzF/?igshid=mk97s14ry5pa

Venus, spreading, oil on canvas by @devochkina_the_artist . In March 2020 we’ve started live modeling sessions and they run amazingly. This piece came in between of teaching and sketching, cooking a tea for students and cleaning a working space meanwhile. Our model @mainshum was inspired by Guerilla Girls , whom we lectured about, and took ironic poses after. In June we’ll be back to live modeling classes, enrol by pm, link in bio #budapestcreatives #budapest #venus #livemodeling #redsofa #livemywalls #devochkinasart (at Budapest, Hungary) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA_Q0tZBmrV/?igshid=1p6rzqkazourt

Our collaboration w. @draculanails presents a series of my oil paintings in gel-lack on nails. It is a part of my research of a new women’s artistic language. I observe mediums and techniques that are familiar to women’s community only to produce my own art pieces. Budapest based nail artist Dracula Nails got it very well. To fix gel-lack you need special LEDs, so out project saw the light because of them as well.

Dear friends and kustfuckers — I’ve just published my FIRST VIDEO CLASS on how to create your first modern oil painting from a photo! By using the special link in bio you can sign up for Skillshare premium membership and enrol to my class — it will be TOTALLY FREE first two months. There are hundreds of other lectures and courses on the platform, so it is a great deal for the current situation and personal/creative growth. In this video course I’ve summarized my 1,5y experience at @kunstfuck_art_residency . I’m guiding you step by step to creating your own piece easily. This was my first director position as well, so I’m very excited. And as if I had Oscar in my hands: “I want to thank my friends, who helped my video class happen: top teacher @karina.eibatova , exclusive music set by @troobaadoor , technical support @sznap_fotomasina @dim__lam @interlike.app @nyerckoma , and of course thank you  @chet_veri_kova for the photo that I’ve used in my class.” (at Budapest, Hungary) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAKw7t8DP_v/?igshid=ses043mlp6t2

According to a statistics an artist is one of the most safetest profession these days! Plus, Budapest allows to gather in small groups, so we are inviting all level students for single painting sessions on Fridays or Saturdays. Our space allows up to 5 people with a needed distance, there are 2 nice balconies available as well. Advantages of this month: a welcome-back price 6500 instead of 7500, max 5 people, a keyboard for a live solo piano concert. Book a place by pm. Those who missed the class in March due to restrictions, are welcome to make up the lesson this month #kunstfuck #kunstfuckartresidency #budapestcreatives #lovemywalls (at Budapest, Hungary) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_29wW1hx2k/?igshid=xj60mbldmusm

‪I’ve started the most romantic artistic life u can even imagine: I’ve just payed for the rent w.2 paintings from my #FamousHungarians series: Victor Vasarely and Marcel Breuer. I’m pretty much excited about this fact, but it was also sooo sad to give them away. ‬Later I was said that the most amazing collections were created in a crisis (when artists had nothing to eat). Though I couldn’t even predict the crisis like that - I’m pretty much thankful for being involved in a collection creation. The landlord owns real Vasarely by the way #devochkinasart #lovemywalls https://www.instagram.com/p/B_XkjZtjzTM/?igshid=1o2ls80gbmsno

The piece is inspired by early Maria Lassnig’s works and Euan Uglow’s pieces. It was painted in spring 2020 being under despair and infected by the media attack. Though the sketches were made during a life modeling session one month earlier, in winter 2020, they reflected the current spring mood better #devochkinasart #blue #lifemodeling #painting (at Budapest, Hungary) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-x1s7HDab3/?igshid=1u5q2hnqe9z4v

Venus in a Drapery, 100*80cm, oil on canvas. Using classic art history plots and being inspired by the drapery of Venus de Milo #devochkinasart #toiletofvenus #venus (at Budapest, Hungary) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-o0uiTDJeY/?igshid=1qnx847lcopi8

'Meduza' , oil on canvas, 50*40 cm. The painting depicts a screaming heroine in a mask. The image shows how me is reacting to the pandemic crisis: the news attack, the despair of being separated with my kid in two countries, the financial discouragement. The screeming woman is inspired by portraits of Maria Lassnig and mainly by Caravaggio's 'Meduza' #devochkinasart #selfportrat #oil #corona19 #art #budapestcreatives #lovemywalls #yellow #mask (at Budapest, Hungary) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-mh-TmjIST/?igshid=74nqgh02b13o
