Untitled Drawing

Bio: I was born in 1997 in Pärnu, Estonia, to a Russian speaking family. However, I have spent most of my life in England. I have a bachelor's degree in Fine Art (Arts University Bournemouth) and a Master's degree in Visual Culture, Curating and Contemporary art (Aalto University). Artist Statement: Contemporary thinking applied to traditional methodology is an essential part of my artistic practice. My approach is hands on, and experimental, primarily using traditional drawing and painting techniques. I work mostly with acrylic paints, or mixed media on canvas or panel board of medium scale. All of my canvas’s are built and stretched by hand. My work is derived from the unconscious – both the ambiguity of the concept itself and its role in my own psyche. I like to utilise automatism and intuition within my works, whereby the content is spontaneous and semi-abstract. I would describe my imagery as dreamy, feminine, somewhat melancholic, yet playful.
