Fur painting.
Colour on
grown form.

Every hide already carries a story — the painting tells it further. Acrylic on natural hide: no two works are alike.

The technique

What is Fellmalerei?

01 — The work

A bellowing stag, painted in acrylic on a real, untreated cowhide.

02 — The natural edge

The irregular, grown edge of the hide is not trimmed — it remains part of the work.

03 — The texture

Markings, hair growth and whorls bring their own drawing; the painting takes them up.

04 — Painting meets material

Painted motif and grown surface interlock — here a figure in a tailcoat.

05 — The one-of-a-kind

Because no hide is like another, every work is unrepeatable.

Commissions

A picture that exists only once — yours.

  • Portraits from photographs — and, where possible, from life
  • personal motifs and dedications
  • gifts for special occasions — for partners, family, friends
  • works for companies and spaces

Every commission begins with a personal conversation about motif, format and technique — on canvas or as Fellmalerei.

Art workshops

Paint until your head feels light.

“The canvas becomes your best friend: it listens patiently, understands everything — and tells no one.” On this principle Evgenia Kulikova has led art workshops for years — on request for individuals, private groups, companies and team events.

Voices on the art

From the reviews.

“Evgenia Kulikova's works surprise through their wealth of ideas and variety, convince through their craftsmanship and move through the clarity of their message.”

Stefan Schostok — Lord Mayor of the state capital Hannover

“Kulikova manages to combine two traditional genres — still life and portrait — in a modern way. The flowers stand symbolically for the blurred portrait: everything is transient!”

Christina Kreuzberg, M.A. — art historian and cultural manager, Brühl
