Biography and information

Born in 1982 in Moscow. Love for creativity woke up at the age of 28. At first she painted with watercolor and gouache, then she was fond of wood painting with acrylics. A couple of years later I started painting in oil. It turned out that oil is my material - vibrant, mobile, conveys the mood very well. You can do wonders with it!



I used to just collect paintings. I lived in different countries, I traveled a lot, I always liked to study other cultures. And I brought back a piece of beauty from everywhere. But eventually I realized that I could also create something like this myself. And I got serious about creativity, went to study at art studios with recognized masters.



I get my inspiration from the Alps. If I hadn't lived for a few years in the midst of this stunning nature, I probably wouldn't have started painting. Here I paint from life mountain landscapes, lakes, rivers, forests. Mountains are my love for life. The wind on the peaks, the bright sun, the lush grass, the clear water, and I want to share that with everyone!



I've always wondered, too, what's beyond? Beyond light and darkness, beyond the human body? What are the true possibilities of man? What is enlightenment? Are there other forms of life? What is life? What is ... Me? The answers to these questions I have searched for in different places, in meditations, on earth and even underground, and now (having already calmed down a bit), I embody it in my paintings.



Recently it came to me that I finally found my life's work. I like to create, to share beauty. And I have no desire at all to keep the paintings for myself, their purpose is to make other people happy, to create a mood, to decorate homes, to give a piece of sun and light! I hope you will enjoy them too!
