Daria Riabinina

Hello! I’m Daria Riabinina. I was born in 1988 in Saint-Petersburg, Russia.

Since early childhood I somehow knew what I was going to do in life, I remember it clearly. If I saw a painter on plein-air I knew I should not come to peek and disturb him. The artist was in his own world, nobody should ruin his concentration.

While other girls were drawing princesses for kindergarten festivals I used to draw the Hermitage surrounded by colorful fireworks. Nobody appreciated my creative work then, which unfortunately happened time and again since.

Still, I knew I had to be a painter, so in 2005 I successfully passed a competitive entrance examination to the Saint Petersburg Art School named after Nicholas Roerich. That year master B.V.Lesov took new students to his group. It had shaped some parts of my creative way. In spite of being strict and sarcastic and the limited amount of the jokes he knew (quite terrible ones by the way), he had a profound personality. And his art had a thoughtful quality, the spirit, and warmth of the Russian countryside which I picked from him too.

My first truly heartfelt works in my student years were paintings depicting mountains and alpinism. These were the things that captivated me back then. No won...
