I am passionate about photography as an art form. In a world overfull with images, ideas, and messages streaming at warp speed, there's profound value in the thoughtfulness, the provocation, the silent aesthetic, the power of an image made with the vision and ever evolving techniques of fine art photography.

Insomnia This picture was painted shortly after my arrival in New York. There are references to ancient Greek culture and Homer's epic poem Odyssey. The painting symbolized the hope that in our journey we will not lose our own culture. And we will be able to join another culture that is still unknown to us.

This painting is about my parents' wedding. My mother was from a rich and powerful family and my father was from exile in the Siberian Gulag family. Mother's parents were strongly against this marriage and it was like Russian Roulette for my father. He did not know if he could have a happy life or he could end up in Gulag which is depicted in the painting.

Journey to Self, Outside Another Box, and Twisted each explore the complex, non-linear paths we take toward self-understanding and growth. Through layered colors, shifting forms, and circular movement, these works reflect moments of clarity, resistance, and transformation. They invite viewers to consider the ways we navigate change: sometimes breaking free from boundaries, sometimes finding our way back to center, always shaped by the twists and turns that make us who we are.

White roses and blue-and-white vessels are arranged before a yellowed page from a medieval manuscript. The imagery of knights, heraldic animals, and ancient lettering carries symbolic weight — courage, loyalty, and the passage of time. The objects and flowers suggest hidden emotions behind their decorative surfaces, inviting the viewer to look for personal and historical meanings within the stillness.

A vivid dialogue unfolds between strong red background and the dark blue. glass vessels. Roses and glass vessels, in combination with a dagger, a sword, a pomegranate — suggest symbolic meanings. Though still, the composition carries reminiscences, an untold story, suspended in time.

recycled brown bags & acrylic on canvas
I am inspired by nature and I am a gardener and often am inspired by the flowers that I tend to. I use recycled brown grocery bags and paint them with acrylics. When the bags are dry I rip them and glue them together on canvas in the image of my gardens.

Rives Bfk,watercolor pencil, neocolor2, varnish, Cradled wood panel
A few years back while visiting my brother and sister-in -law in New York, we took the train out to Belmont Park to watch the horse race. Although I often draw wild horses, I had never before experienced the energy of a live thoroughbred race. The horses, with their graceful yet powerful bodies, rumbled past the stands in a blur of color as their jockeys urged them on. I took many photographs that day ,and I continue to create drawings inspired by that experience. This piece, “Racing the Big Sandy, refers to the local nickname for Belmont Racetrack, and captures the trillI felt watching the racers thunder past.
I created this drawing using watercolor pencils and Neocolor 2 on Rives Bfk paper adhered to and varnished on a cradled wood panel.
I’m a textile artist who is inspired by the world around me, especially by nature. I look at my surroundings with inquisitive eyes and mind, with curiosity, knowing there are hidden treasures to be found and turned into art.
My artistic approach is mostly intuitive with a constant awareness of color combination and contrast. The use of strong colors is a direct influence of my Brazilian heritage. Using fabric as the medium to create my art pieces was a natural choice since I have been working with it from my teenage years.
My creative process can be described in two phases. The first one is the combination of inspiration and visualization of an art piece. The second phase is transforming what I visualized into actual artwork. It requires selecting fabrics as close as possible to my vision, adjusting, and sometimes, starting all over again.

I conjure intimate dialogues on canvas that speak of who we are—beauties, souls, goddesses, lovers, warriors. I paint to celebrate the magic inside every woman. We are beauties, souls, goddesses, lovers, warriors. I paint to show the magic inside every woman. We shine with grace like Aphrodite—the most beautiful goddess of love—full of softness and light. We also stand strong like a divine warrior, wearing gold helmet and gentle pink gown at the same time, showing that our power comes from being both brave and tender. Sometimes we are a mirror too—my painting with a young woman kissing her reflection reminds us we all want to feel seen and loved. That “love yourself” isn’t just words—it’s a deep hug from your own heart, a way to feel close to others again. My paintings are simple conversations with our souls, celebrating how we are strong and gentle, brave and kind, always beautiful and always real.
