This striking image is a photo-based digital artwork that captures the ethereal beauty of a woman submerged just beneath the surface of water. Rendered in black and white, the image plays with natural light reflections dancing across her face and shoulders, creating a mesmerizing, almost otherworldly pattern reminiscent of liquid lace or light tattoos.

Her calm, direct gaze evokes a sense of quiet strength and introspection, while the play of light and shadow creates depth and mystery. The water becomes both a lens and a veil — distorting, softening, and revealing — as the subject seems to exist between two realms: the conscious and the subconscious, air and water, reality and dream.

The digital enhancement adds fine contrast and surreal precision, making the water’s textures and reflections almost sculptural. This artwork merges photographic realism with a painterly surreal effect, resulting in a hypnotic, emotional portrait that speaks of identity, clarity, and transformation.

Currently based in Latvia, I am a multidisciplinary artist exploring the interplay of color, texture, and various media. Mastering a wide range of techniques, I create artworks that merge classical traditions with contemporary expression. The human body and its metamorphoses serve as central themes in my work, reflecting my fascination with transformation, identity, and the connection between the self and the surrounding world.

My artistic vision is deeply influenced by Pop Art, the Renaissance, Surrealism, and mythology, as well as the works of artists such as Jeff Koons, KAWS, Guillermo Lorca, Salvador Dalí, Vincent van Gogh, Henri Matisse, and Gustav Klimt. I strive to blend artistic research with innovation, allowing my work to engage with both historical influences and present-day narratives.

Beyond my personal practice, I am also an art educator, running my own studio where I work with both children and adults. Teaching allows me to share my passion for art while fostering creativity in others. My works emerge from a fusion of imagination, the environment around me, and reflections on time, societal issues, and human experiences.

Academically, I am currently pursuing a Master's degree at the Faculty of Contemporary Art at the University of Paul Valéry in France. Previously, I graduated from the Art Faculty of Sorbonne University and studied at the Art Academy of Latvia, where I was mentored by esteemed old-school painters. My artistic journey began with a solid foundation at an art college in Russia, shaping my skills and deepening my understanding of both classical and contemporary art.
