The Beginning

pebble art in progress - A scared fisherman drops his fishing rod, a big scary fish attacks a smaller white fish

I started making my first pebble artworks using stones collected by my children. While they waited for me to come out of the sea with my windsurf, they kept themselves busy on the beach. They gathered shells, sea glass, and all sorts of tiny treasures. And, of course, pebbles.

They were so beautiful, I couldn’t just throw them away. One day, as I was admiring them, they began to form unexpected shapes – little sculptures. That’s how my art journey began – cheerful, colorful, sometimes playful, sometimes romantic… with the scent of the sea.

About me

Pebble paintings are the thing that consumes all my free time. Because it's fascinating. Because it's fun to put together the pieces of a nautical puzzle that has no instructions. And it is priceless to see the smile of the people staring at the ordinary pebbles glued to the smooth surface... and the spontaneous "Ah..." when the images come to life before their eyes.

My name is Rada Lisichka. I was born and live in Burgas - Bulgaria. I graduated from Art High School here, and after that from the University of Architecture, Construction and Geodesy in Sofia.

I love art and especially the handmade art.

I also love the sea. I work as an architect in the winter and a windsurfing instructor in the summer.

About The Artworks

I adore natural materials. Already at the university, the rule was firmly instilled in us that stone should not be painted. It acts in this way precisely because it is a stone. That’s why my artworks are made with pebbles in their natural state – exactly as they were found on the beach. I do not paint, varnish, polish or treat them in any way other than a simple wash. Those that are smooth and shiny have only been polished by the sea sands while they have been standing at the bottom of the sea.

I use acrylic paints for the background. They are best suited for applied techniques as they cover the base from high density fiberboard with the effect of oil paints.
Each of these paintings is unique because duplicates are not possible. And each one is special, as it carries a fragment of summer – the best season for collecting memories.

FAQ

Can I order these paintings through another site or online platform?

Yes! You can also find my paintings in the global marketplace for handcrafted pieces ETSY.

My Etsy shop:

Is the frame included in the price of the painting?

Yes! All paintings are framed. The frame is an integral part of the painting. It strengthens it by giving additional strength to the base. The frame is held in place with metal plates and glued, so it cannot be replaced.
