Through my exploration of spiritual concepts in art and culture, I have come to work with the mystical feminine archetype as my guide in art-making. My paintings utilize both figurative and abstract modalities as an integral part of exploring this concept. The figurative being a more decorative, physical representation of the idea, while the abstract lives in a sensual, spiritual place.
My art explores the mystical subliminal space, reclaiming sensuality, intuition, and beauty as a source of power and a connection to the divine. What started as a calling and fascination with the nearly erased pagan past of my home country, Russia, and interest in transcendental and nature-centric imagery has evolved into more in-depth research concerning cultural interpretations of the feminine force. I’m interested in creating a place of transcendence and reverence through appreciation of beauty.
