The Artist about her Work and Herself:

…I work only in color. I just don't think otherwise…


…I remain sincere to the ideas of my sole Teacher, Aanatoly Ivanovich Shugrin:
"The artist's individuality is of an utmost importance…"
"The area of a color is important. You can paint a surface like one paints a roof, still the main question is - how large is this spot of color…"
"Pauses, intervals within the objects are of an equal importance with the objects themselves…"


…Marketplace and Fair themes captured my imagination… expressive poses, movements of the people, the crowd, permanently changing and saturated with color - I wanted so much to "pause" everything for a moment and to commemorate all of it on paper, with no detail lost…


…I accomplish most of my work in journeys. Fluent sketches while walking in a marketplace, inside a cottage or a bus in further development are combined in complex composition works…
