Discoverer Painting

I left my native home of Russia at 17 years old, hungry for adventures. I found those living in an exotic country that was full of surprises China. Growing into adult in a foreign place brought a diverse set of challenges and complexities, as well as insights, open mind and creativity. That is where I started to paint. Each art collection is like a separate unique story that I want to tell. “The Colors” with its bright colors dripping down or being splashed on a dimmed background of a woman or a city represent the power of change, the motivation to get up and fight, even if your enemy is you. Darker bolder colors and shapes of “On the Edge” collection inspired by 2020 show us the ugly truth about what the world has become and the courage to make a change. Some of my works were participating the competition of Banditto Residency Prize 2019 and 2020 in Tuscany, Italy and Luxembourg Art Prize 2020 at the Pinacotheque Museum, Luxembourg. My works were also exhibiting in Moscow, Russia and some of them are collected by collectors in China, India and Holland. After colorful 13 years in China, traveling the world and falling in love made me adjust the course and choose the next adventure I'm currently diving into – moving to the Netherlands. I am very curious and excited to see how it will influence my style and what opportunities it will bring.
