She lived for 4 years on the Kuril island of Paramushir, actively devoting herself to the plein air. The wild nature of the island, with its active volcanoes, the ocean, influenced the artist's work, as a result of which his own style was formed in the technique of oil painting and impressionism.

Blissful images of a quiet haven of the material world seem to float from the paintings into the viewer's imagination. They remain the unattainable desired, but their visual form can bring peace to consciousness. Water, which fills all living things, as a constant element in paintings, on the one hand, gives a feeling of weightlessness, on the other hand, it becomes an axis of peace and order, an eternal return to the horizon, to balance.

My visual handwriting was formed during my life and active plein-air practice on the Kuril island of Paramushir. Observing and painting the wildlife of the island – active volcanoes, distant ocean – became a defining experience for me.

Landscapes painted in oil technique are intangible images, similar to reflections. The pasty manner of writing in my works creates the effect of distortion in space-time, which fills the distance between the eye and the depicted object. Thus, the image reveals itself as an aura. The paintings do not show a direct imprint of reality, but its aura, which I carry to the viewer.

My painting style goes back to the method of Impressionism. The aura of the work, which carries the memory of the depicted reality, is woven from fleeting impressions, flashes in my perception.

To add memory to the image, I use, among other things, direct artifacts – natural substances mixed into the paint in a natural way.

For example, in all the works of the Kuril series, there is ash from the Ebeko volcano, as they are written in plein-air conditions, due to ash eruptions that occurred very often during the day from the Ebeko volcano at home.

I fill my paintings with nature, let in the breath of the wind, the sound of the ocean surf.
