Biography
I was born and raised in France. I grew up in a family of artists and my grandma put us all to crayons early-on. I attended the "Ecole d'art de Luminy, France, (a fine art program), and George Brown College's Graphic design program, in Toronto, where I graduated with 3 awards and honours and Applied Art magazine award. I attended the City Sculpture School and Studio (C.S.S.S.) where I did life drawing practice with a group of other artists. My work has been shown in a few Galleries.
I then worked with Chinese/Japanese brush technique and tried to find synthesis between my roots and this amazing art form. I love the contrasts between cultures, and try to express that.
My Art is constantly evolving. Though Chinese brush techniques are still a big part of what I do, it is mixed with a new personal approach, very much influenced by Russian folk art and Inuit and Haida art, Klee, and Picasso's potteries and my own personal spiritual growth. A strange mix I guess, but I am on that road and obsessed with it and I think somehow it's right because I have fun.

I use what ever i have and experiment often. My base is fine watercolours: even though I don't use a lot of transparent effects, I love watercolours for it's flexibility adapatability and exceptional depth of colour. I also experiment with amazing dry pigments that my mom gets for me from Roussillon, France ("Ocres et Terres"). which i use with arabic gum. it works great and has a great velevety texture. I also use extensively colour pencils. Beyond that, various kind of inks and gouaches and novelty compounds that works more ... or less! I have experimented with various surfaces, mostly paper and my favorite is Arches' hot press watercolour paper, but I've used 2 different Strathmore's watercolour papers, as well some with a rougher texture that works well on large format. I'm now trying out wood panels: the final effect looks fantastic ( using watercolours and varnish). Since I have moved, I am trying Oil techniques these are at the experimental stage!
... Any question about technique, feel free to ask!

Quel talent ! Bravo !
Hello Kipik,
You have some beautiful artwork... I love 'Enchanted Forest' and others like it in style - and your dolls are wonderful! You should be illustrating children's books if you aren't already.
Best,
Julia
your work is inspiring...a perfect mix of mysterious and fun..what a joy!
Hi there,
Enchanted Forest is a great one.
Thank you
Dear Silvuchka, happy to know that you are doing so well! Your art is fresh,lifull and bright! In every piece is your yuong for ever nature, and your childish view on every aspect of reality is so rare - much more professional and successful artist could be envy! I love you, my dear friend, keep going!

I still keep your early work in good shape. Especially the "heart angel" is my treasure. Drop us afew line....
Very unique artwork, I love it!

I really like your drawings, the emotion inside, the colours, the folk connection. Sorry my inglish but in spanish I can say that your work is buena onda (cool?)
you have a very individual stylized way of painting and way of looking at things. Not the kind of stuff I normally like but Cana What? is fantastic!
Je suis heureuse d'être la première à déposer un mot dans ton livre d'or !Ton travail est familier et pourtant neuf et rafraîchissant. Les couleurs sont magnifiques, c'est vraiment un travail personnel et sincère !
