Barbara was born in Minsk, 1982. Now lives in Italy. She travels a lot around the world - so most of small art pieces were created at the road.
She completed a fine art degree in 2002-2007 and have painted since she was three years old. There was a long break in the artist career while working as a photographer, in a 2020 she started painting again.
Despite of USSR heritage society and politics suppressing, inequal and abusive foundations existing nowadays in Belarus, the artist creates bright, kind paintings and funny characters, accumulating the brightest vibes in her soul and sharing it all to the world. The favourite theme - nature and birds as a symbol of women freedom from patriarchal society.
Favourite materials are pastel, watercolor and acrylic paints. Varvara has many artistic influences, such as Impressionism, Symbolism, Semi-Abstract, Ethno art. Whatever the subject matter, her work is characterized by lots of details and bright colours, different patterns and textures. The main inspiration - vibrating colors of nature, especially in mimicry theme. Bright mixing energy of wildlife colors, birds, animals and light are the source to create and interpretate the social life.
Usually Barbara works in an impressionistic style with many layers of paint, colorful strokes and dots. It takes a lot of time to create the paintings due to many details involved.
She is a real creator always seeking new forms of art and techniques to express her inner self.
