paintings on aluminum

Studied art , stage and costume design in Russia. l live and work in the Netherlands since 2004.

After 14 years career as a stage and costume theater designer I decided to make a new start as a painter. In 2015 I got a scholarship from the Wackers Academy for a class of Jim Harris and Sam Drukker and graduated in 2016. In June 2016 I received the Rembrandt Young Talent Award at Noordwijk painters festival.

I paint landscapes, people and things. Water is the main subject of my works. Swimming people, pools, things in the water , reflections make me very inspired. I paint on aluminium plates and aluminium foil with oilpaint. Also I use other surfaces such as paper or canvas. I try to experiment with Dibond and materials , which I found at the waste dump.

My paintings are sensitive and emotional . I show details which most people do not notice . I paint both outside and in my studio.
