My name is Alyona Ruchka. I was born and live in Russia, the city of Krasnodar.
She graduated from art school and graphic arts faculty of the Kuban State University. Worked as a graphic designer for over 17 years. In 2017, thanks to the Botanical Battle, I discovered botany and now it does not let me go.
I draw portraits of plants. I am engaged in photohunting, I run through the mountains and forests, studying nature, making for myself constant discoveries in the world of plants. When painting, you live and feel the plant, the moments of his life. In botanical painting every detail is important. From bud to wilted flower a lifetime passes. Any bend and torn sheet can tell a lot about the plant, and it is very interesting.
With my works I want to draw attention to the beautiful, thin, vulnerable and disappearing world of plants, and especially to the flora of my native South of Russia. Member of Society of Artists of Botanical Arts in Russia. I participate in exhibitions.
