My name is Valia Arnaudova - Tcholakova.  
Born in Bulgaria, 1956. Education - Master's
Degree in literature. Spoken languages:
English, French, Bulgarian, Russian.
Love - art.
I started   painting  just  recently,    and    was
getting  admirers  of  my  work. Et voila -  my
dream was born. I   decided     to implement a
business plan.
I  worked as a  teacher in Literature in
Europe,  Bulgaria,  Kardjali. I have to say
thanks to my ex-students, the geeks from
Otetz Paisii High School for Mathematics
and Computer Sciences,  for being
interested in my work : art - literature
comparative    analysis.  Now I  am  trying  to  
use  this  knowledge and  incorporate  it  into
art. I hope to apply the  prior   experience  as  
well  as the  art  research for many years in
my new found  business.
I have the greatest appreciation  for  oils.  
Probably  a  result  of     European
upbringing  and  sense  of  beauty,  peace
and harmony,  I  decided   to  dedicate  my
work to the Old Masters' painting  
techniques.
I  am  very   happy  to   explore   this  field  of  
the    human civilization and make it my life's
work.
I live in Saint Louis, MO, USA.
1. Schedule a sitting and/or a photo
session. If you live in another state or
country, please e-mail me for details
about the photos.
2. 35%  down   payment     is required.
When you see the original painting,
if you like it - you buy it. It is that simple.

I am trying to create my own green painting
technique with Ink and Oils. It is very
difficult to realize the idea, but I do love the
effect of ink's transparency, combined with
the nobility of oils. You can see how it
looks at the Gallery. What do you think?
E-mail me, thank you.
I promise I will paint a beautiful painting of
myself, and replace this photo - thank you to
all my friends, who care about that, and
constantly remind me.
