Zhanna Kondratsikovskaya

I was born in Georgia /the former USSR /, in Tbilisi. My life has been full of adventures and interesting stories. I began making artdolls and puppets when I was 25 years old and paintings after one strange night when I suddenly died while my sleep and then was returned by an unknown lady.. who came up to me through the door and helped. (who knows, who she was? )
A week later I got ill. I was very hot, when I got up and began seeking for a cardboard to make a painting. I was twenty seven years old then..
