Young lady with cat Painting

I'm a Fremantle  (Western Australia) based professional artist who was born in South of Russia, graduated of Moscow Industrial Art University where I studied over 5 years. I moved to Australia in 2004 and exploring my beautiful new surrounding and discovering a thriving artistic community has allowed me to reconnect with nature and focus my attention on producing artworks which have a harmonious beauty and simplicity at the same time. My favorite artist who inspires me: Monet, Van Gogh, Degas, Ilya Repin, Valentine Serov, Vrubel, Zorn, Aivazovsky, Sishkin, Isaac Levitan and more other  beautiful  painters of 19,20 century. I'm currently exploring the human form and the natural environment and producing some exceptional work. I paint in oil and my favorite theme is portrait, figures, landscapes and Seascapes. Every year I participate in Annual Art Awards Exhibitions of my region where I have been chosen for winning prize for few times. Also I organize my solo exhibitions from time to time.
