I was born and raised in Almaty, Kazakhstan, studied painting and other creative artistic pursuits from an early age and graduated with a degree in Fine Arts from Almaty State University in 1995. In 2016, I moved to Canada to reside permanently in Toronto with my daughter and husband.
I paint on silk.
Having developed original techniques that I like to call “graphics on silk”, I create my art using exquisite silk, paints and waxes from Central Asia and Europe.
I work on each painting, gradually layering paints on the silk’s surface with a brush, beginning with the lightest tones, then flowing to darker ones, highlighting colours and overlying them until they vibrate. Using hot wax, which will later be removed from the painting, helps to create distinctive, one of a kind, effects of splashing and fine cracking lines.
The result that I am ultimately satisfied with is a painting that is truly unique and with a brightness of colours that will keep pleasing the eyes of viewers for many, many years. To achieve this result, I use paints that are of archival standards, specifically manufactured for use on silk, and both UV—and water-resistant. The silk, personally sourced from the markets of Uzbekistan, is all-natural and of the absolute highest quality. The painting deserves no less.
