Born in 1985 in the town of Zhairem, which means “oasis”, in Kazakhstan. Since 1994 she live and work in Ukraine.
The first impressions of the Kazakh steppe, the original folk flowers, patterns influenced the color of her work. Many artworks can trace the ornaments of Middle Asia, and the variety of details resembles the steppe spring. In the middle of the nineties she came to Ukraine. If Kazakhstan is full of contrasts and clear contours, then the nature of Ukraine is made up of nuances and lace lines.
I work in my own printmaking workshop. I love to experiment with different printmaking techniques, tracing paper and collage. I like to transform realistic things to new abstract patern, to see unusual in usual life. And at the same time I love classical realistic methods.
I also practice a new mokulito technique
My favorite themes are botanical theme, urbo and old architecture, symbols, crystals, light and shadows.
