Olive grove in the Tuscan sun (2017) Disegno da Margarita Simonova

My name is Margarita Simonova. I am an academic artist-sculptor. My creative direction is balanced between academic realism and impressionism. To be devoted to nature and at the same time capture a fleeting mood.

2015-2019 MGAKHU Academic College in memory of 1905 with honors and praise at the Faculty of Sculpture, where they laid all the foundations of painting. Since 2019 at the Academic University of MGAKHI Surikov, Faculty of Sculpture.

Due to my education, I am an academic sculptor, but I am equally proficient in sculpture and drawing, as well as academic painting, which is not typical for a professional sculptor. Being at the junction of two academic artistic directions and owning each of them, I see the world around me differently. 

Thanks to my academic education, I work from nature: whether it's running clouds in the North of Russia, cute pets, urban landscapes, rains or sunsets. I go with paints and sketchbook to the North, to the virgin corners of Russia, I catch the character of a friendly and very playful dog, I go to another country, and everywhere I write or sculpt my impression of what I saw. I always rely in my work on a living, genuine perception when there is no "glass" between me and the world, when I can feel the depicted moment of life not only with my eyes and hands, but also with my whole body, with my whole mind and soul. I paint large paintings and sculptures from my "live" sketches.
