The city of Yoshkar-Ola, the capital of the Mari El Republic, has repeatedly invited artists to the All-Russian Plein Air. In 2011, the theme of the plein air was “Portrait of the city: the improved Yoshkar-Ola — the pearl of the Volga region.” About three dozen painters participated in the plein air session, among them was Reseda Rakhimullovna Yamanova (her creative pseudonym — Reseda Yamali).
Reseda Yamanova was born in Kazan. After graduating from an art school, she entered the Pedagogical Department of the Kazan Art College, and later graduated from the Graphic Arts Faculty of the Chuvash Pedagogical Institute. After studying, she entered the Artistic Painting Workshop of the Russian Academy of Arts to work under the tutorship of the academician of painting Haris Abdrakhmanovich Yakupov in Kazan.
Yamanova has participated in Russian and republican exhibitions. Her solo exhibitions were held in the State Council, in the State Museum of Fine Arts of the Republic of Tatarstan, and in the Ğabdulla Tuqay Museum. Rezeda Rakhimullovna has authored educational programs and works on methodology, manuals for students of secondary and higher educational institutions. The artist has an extensive experience in teaching: for thirty years she has taught at a university, general education and art schools. Over the years of teaching, she has accumulated substantial experience in such disciplines as drawing, painting and composition. Yamanova teaches methods and techniques of watercolor and oil painting with an individual approach to each student.
Reseda Yamanova works in the landscape, portrait and still life genres. Painting from nature, en plein air, is the foundation of her art. Her recent works are distinguished by strictly selected subjects, carefully thought-out themes and the emergence of a new pictorial quality. Yamanova’s works are characterized by multidimensionality and the predominance of warm tones in the color pallet.
In her painting “The Evening Prayer”, the Yoshkar-Ola Resurrection Cathedral is depicted in the rays of the setting sun; the tops of the domes in the blue sky contrast with the heavy clouds in the background. We see the church’s reflection in the puddles. To the right of the church is a woman in a bright red cloak walking away from the viewer. The transparent sky, freed from clouds, in juxtaposition to the warm tones of the bell tower, enhances both the pictorial value and emotional mood of the painting.
