Inspiration Drawing

There are events that have influenced my life. I was born in Russia, my family was deported from Romania to Siberia. In 1980, we moved to Ukraine where I grew up and lived. My mother was a sculptor, I saw a lot of her work. She made sculptures on ceilings at railway stations in Russia, facades on buildings. We had a large family, my mother instilled in us the love of art, we were always busy with creativity. She taught everyone how to draw, how to make installations, modelling. As a child, I went to art school and wandered around museums and exhibitions. My grandfather was an icon painter and my father made incredible things from wood. When I came to England, wide opportunities for creativity opened up, I went to college and studied. My teacher was famous artist Sisetta Zappone who taught on the course at UAL Art and Design. I received a diploma Art and Design Level 2 (progressive course) with honors. I completed courses in print and artistic painting of clothes, and mastered various techniques. My works are hanging at Lisson Grove College Gallery( Westminster Adult Education) in London now. I have been invited to exhibitions in London and Austria. Creating new works, working in new styles - this has become my meaning in life!
