I was born in the Eastern part of Europe and since 1996 I have been living in Eastern part of US. Art is not my main source of income and not my major degree, but my passion. As an emerging artist my work is intuitive and I use canvas and paint, color and shapes to express my feelings toward to the world.  My whole life I’ve been taking some wonderful classes from wonderful teachers to increase my proficiency in fine art. I am very optimistic and resilient person and with my paintings I want to inspire people with my confidentiality and energy. My work is deriving its strength form two completely different worlds I lived in and it helps me to understand the simple objects and complex feelings of our everyday life and translate them into a language of their own. The acrylic colors are helping me to state this interpretation visually instead of using the words. There will not be those things tomorrow and the feelings will change but my paintings will go on and I want them to become people’s memory, love, and passion, as it is mine. I create acrylic paintings of varying sizes, colors, and textures and in each artwork I experiment with color and motion and a different theme to create the uniqueness.                                                                                                                         Farida Badalova  Exhibitions  Museum of Contemporary Art; Washington, DC; 2003 McCrillis Gardens Gallery; Bethesda, MD; 2003 IASG 10th Anniversary Exhibition; Warehouse Gallery; Washington, DC; 2003 Personal Exhibition; Gaithersburg Medical Center; Gaithersburg, MD; 2003 Glenview Mansion Show; Presented by Rockville Art Leaque; Rockville, MD; 2002 IASG First China Art Show; Chinese Artist Association and Tsinghua University; Beijing, China; 2002 Artists Helping Artists; Maryland College of Fine Art and Design; Rockville, MD; 2002 Summit Hill House; Gaithersburg, MD; 2002 Upstairs & the Art Bayou of the Summer Season (a benefit for Ladyfest DC); Washington, DC, 2002 Art on the Canal Show; Presented by Rockville Art League and Montgomery Art Association; Potomac, MD; 2002   Memeber of International Artist Support Group Rockville Art League Montgomery County Art Association
