East of the sun, west of the moon Drawing

My name is Ksenia. In the spring of 1986, I was born. My parents were simple workers and I was born in a small provincial town, lost among the Ural expanses. My dad, from a small age, instilled in me a love of music and tried to develop in me a sensitivity to nature and his inner world, he loved plants. As a schoolgirl, I and my family moved to the village, where I grew up among the various flowers that my father cultivated. At the same time, I started teaching drawing in a children's art school. After school, I knew exactly where I wanted to go. Entering the Architectural College in Ekaterinburg and studying there for 4 years at the "Interior Design" department, I decided to continue my education on this profile. In a couple of years, after graduating from college, I decide to go to Moscow and enter the MARCHI (Moscow Architectural Institute). After studying there for 4 years on the department of "Architecture" I understand that most of all I want to draw. During the entire period of study in the Institute, I painted more than I did architectural projects. After graduation at the institute, I decide to ascend the artist's path. Now I draw, I make illustrations, I participate in exhibitions and I feel myself in my place.
