An architectural fragment of the interior decoration of the Seville cathedral.
In 2008, in London, I was invited to participate a group exhibition with the theme “Gothic”. I had no doubt what to portray for this event. The thing is that couple months before this, me with my friend spent a holiday in Spain, where we visited Seville and its Cathedral of Saint Mary of the See. In my life I have seen a lot of sacred architecture. Honestly, I love visiting that kind of places (as well as local markets, but that’s a different story). There one could feel the inner life of city, its cultural background, and these places are usually (if it’s not a Protestant church) full of artistic values, what have been always interested me. Undoubtfully, Seville Cathedral is masterpiece of Gothic architecture and it is one of the largest as well. Perhaps, that is why inside of it you feel the infinite extend of inner space. The combination of gray stone with openwork carved golden altar, sparkling scarlet color, all this creates a very strong impression. Here in the cathedral is the tomb where Christopher Columbus rests in peace.
Some things as smell and taste are very difficult to describe, as well as feelings or sensations. Then you begin, you quickly enough learn that these are just words… inside the space itself there is something big, something powerful, which goes beyond the limits of ordinary human life, and it’s tangible physically. It’s not my business to judge the moral of the achievements of the discoverer of the New World, but assessing the size of golden altar, the scale of the robbery is clear, nevertheless… this place still sounds an echo of its greatness. I felt it.

Her artistic universe is a kind of magic realism: she likes to show real life objects and try to bring out the magical pulsation of space. The plots of her creations are taken from her life: a birch glade near her house at different times of the year, the portrait of a loved one, her village in the snow...
