Born in Kazakhstan in Almaty. Graduated from the Alma-Ata Art College.

She received her second education in Moscow at the studio school at the Moscow Art Theater (University). Scenographer by profession. As a graphic designer, she developed many projects in leading advertising agencies in Moscow. I have been painting since 2011. I cooperate with galleries and take part in exhibitions in Moscow. I am a resident of the gallery ReloftArt and ArtDefa. She took part in the ArtAnkara fair 2023. Works are in private collections in Russia, Switzerland, Great Britain, USA.

I study the conceptual qualities of abstraction, accumulating my own design background and aesthetic experiences of the neo-avantgarde. In my projects I plan to continue the modernist experiment, to study the correlations of abstraction and figurative painting. And I prove that the discovery of the avant-garde artists can be rethought today, in new relevant discourses.

Any image correlates with a symbol. Regardless of how abstract a pictorial image is, in human perception it certainly acquires a linguistic form. This process is intuitive, spontaneous. Is it possible to reassemble the meanings of painting itself and the visual code itself? Where is the limit between reference and pure abstraction? I initiate such a reassembly in my works, rethinking the boundaries of painting.
