About

Multidisciplinary Artist

 

Born in the Vologda Region in 1996. Graduated in 2018 from Saint Petersburg State University of Industrial Technology and Design with a degree in Graphic Design. Worked as a commercial photographer until 2025.

 

Working across painting, drawing, crochet, and photography, her practice explores the persistence of childhood experience within adult systems of taste, perception, and self-understanding.

 

She returns to the visual language of childhood — examining how these early references become internalized and continue to shape the ways we perceive ourselves and the world around us.

 

Softness and ornamentation function as both aesthetic language and a form of tension. Through them, the works approach emotions that are often difficult to articulate — shame, alienation, vulnerability — creating space for their reconfiguration from an adult perspective.

 

Rather than treating childhood as a fixed past, the practice considers it as an active layer of experience that continues to surface, distort, and transform in the present.
