Types of art

Portrait

Primarily working in still life and landscape, Godovalnikova enjoys doing portraiture and particularly painting children and women. And especially her love for the great painting of Camille Corot and other French Impressionists helped her to develop own style with a sensitive portrayal of the subject matter and depth of colors.[4]

Icon painting

At the beginning of the 1990s, Godovalnikova was blessed by the Russian Orthodox Church as Icon painter.[2] She is the most recognized icon painter in Sevastopol. Her best works adorn the iconostases of many churches of the hero city... They are worshipped in the Cathedral of the Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles kn. St. Vladimir — the tomb of the outstanding admirals of the Russian Navy, in the St. George Monastery, in the village of Orlin – in the Church of Seraphim of Radonezh, in Balaklava. And a good two dozen of icons – in the Pochayiv Lavra in the Ternopil region, in the cathedrals of Chernivtsi, in private collections in Sevastopol, Moscow, St. Petersburg, in the Netherlands.[7]
