bio
Growing up among medieval spires and Belle Époque façades of Riga deeply shaped my artistic vision, while my Russian heritage, rooted in the Baltic, enriched my cultural identity with layered perspectives. My artistic journey has taken me from England to Florence, where I studied the art of restoration and drew inspiration from the traditions of the Florentine School. After graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, I went on to teach at the Milan Painting Academy. Today, I work from my Milanese studio, MYARTROOM, a space dedicated to figurative painting and graphic drawing. My practice explores a refined, expressive figurative style — a continuous experimentation with vivid colour, form, and emotion. Each painting emerges from a deep investigation of its subject, where colour becomes both language and feeling, a way to reveal the hidden pulse of human connection.

artist's statement
My work has been mainly centered on the female figure, somehow there is a sense of belonging and a home feeling when one is traveling or living in a foreign country and bonds with other people, there is solidarity and strength. The core of my paintings have been a way to pay homage to that home that women offer other women despite their differences in culture, education, race, language, age or others. Art is a territory where different nationalities, characters make strangers meet and share. I’m interested in the dialogue that it opens about femininity, assimilation into society, conflict oneself, with stereotypes, with tolerance. This research leads every time to redefining my identity while sharing with others.
Is it possible to have a second motherland? I have been working for years around this question.
My goal is to observe and absorb the feelings, emotions and real nature of the person portrayed, a way to establish a bond through painting to continue the construction of another motherland that is not defined by a country but that is found in the relationship possible in the land of painting. A place where I'm researching the meaning of beauty in today's languages, how it can be defined every time in a different way, and how it can be adapted.
