Educated at Moscow’s School of Visual Art, I turned to
hand-woven tapestries in the search of a fresh visual language and
a distinct process I could call my own.
As an
artist, I focus on the process of developing the painting.
Form should move, flow, coming in to focus and disappears in to
background. My colors are always subjective; they reflect a mood,
an emotion of the artwork. Sometimes I want to use a very limited
pallet, but end up adding more and more colors. I need all of them
to be available.
My work is
soft, quiet and reflective. I am very much interested in
mythology, especially Jewish mythology and traditions; because it
is very vivid and reflect who am I. I love to read and often it
gives a starting impulse for the new work.
Process
When exploring the theme for the new tapestry, I
produce numerous drawings to experiment and clarify the idea for
the new work. I enjoy the energy and spontaneity of process of
drawings and want to correspond the same element of excitement in
my tapestries. Because Drawing is an essential part of the process
for me, I included a section on drawing in my portfolio.
