Born with a natural affinity for the visual arts, Lada was introduced to the creative world at a young age by parents who recognized and nurtured this budding talent. Enrolling in a children’s art studio, Lada embarked on a journey that would eventually solidify a lifelong passion for art, long before understanding that one could carve a career from such pursuits. Educated as a graphic artist, Lada Kholosho excels in a variety of mediums, including ink, watercolor, pencils, and more recently, oil and acrylic. With a special fondness for oil pastels, Lada skillfully blends classic and contemporary techniques to create captivating visuals.

Over the years, Lada Kholosho has also made significant contributions to the literary world as an illustrator and book designer, with works preserved in prestigious institutions like the Library of Congress.
