Darya Tsaptsyna

I am a professional painter whose artistic journey began with a degree in Fine Arts from Minsk, the capital of Belarus. Born in Minsk in 1976, I have dreamed of Italy since childhood, inspired by Federico Fellini and the imagery of his movies. Since 2001, I have lived and worked as an artist in Italy. At present I live in the province of Rimini, where Fellini was born.

My work has been exhibited in solo and group shows in Pesaro, Rimini, Bologna, and Chicago. My preferred style is dreamlike surrealism, with early Italian Renaissance painting as my main inspiration. After attending the Awakening the Illuminated Heart workshop with Drunvalo Melchizedek in 2012, I began exploring art as a means of psychological exploration, drawing inspiration from dreams and visions experienced during meditation.

Although I am a professional artist and work on commission, adhering closely to my clients’ guidelines, dream art remains a separate and deeply personal part of my body of work. Painting dreamscapes allows me to explore subconscious realms and give form to the symbolic language of dreams: a process that often reveals hidden layers of meaning and connection.
