Member, Artists Union of Russia
Artist, Graphic

In her art the artist adheres to the symbolist concept. The graphic pieces are decorative, entertaining, and laconic. The distinct characteristics are symbolism, the artist’s effort to think over and to reveal the nature of the symbol. The paintings are deeper in content, more serious, and do better reflect the inner world of the artist. Photos do supplement and develop artist’s creative concept of paintings and graphical works. In general the works are forming the independent series, each one including paintings, graphics and photo works.

There are the following series: “Tassilin - Adger” – the artist’s remake of the paleolith age African rock carvings. “Paganism” - appeal to the spiritual life of the pre-Christian Russia. “Dreams” - mythological subjects. “Still Life”, “Portrait ”, “Landscape”, etc. The author is an active participant of the exhibitions in Russia and abroad. The artworks were purchased by the museums, galleries, and by private collections.
