Nina Fileshi

My name is Nina Fileshi and I was born in the Republic of Moldova. When I was eight years old, the "Transnistria conflict" caused my family to flee to Russia.

I graduated from an art school in Russia, where I built a strong foundation in drawing and painting. In addition to my artistic education, I hold three university degrees: I am a lawyer with an MBA and a Certified Fraud Examiner. My professional background taught me to pay attention to hidden details and emotions, and this sensitivity profoundly shapes my art. I combine analytical precision with expressive freedom — transforming inner tension and human vulnerability into powerful charcoal drawings.
