Туман (2024) Painting by Svetlana Chertova

Svetlana Chertova was born in 1985 in Almaty. As a child, she lived in Cuba for several years, which is partly due to my love for color and light.

The artist received three higher educations, one of which was from the Moscow State Institute of Culture and Arts.

She worked as a personal stylist for more than ten years and taught color to stylists for about five years, presenting it as an art, emphasizing the meaning, and teaching her to understand the work of great couturiers.

At some point, the successful stylist and teacher realized that stylization no longer accommodates the amount of creativity that she lets through herself. And Svetlana went to study painting, entering the workshop of the academic artist, Gulmira Myatova.

Svetlana Chertova was greatly influenced by Pierre Bonnard, Arkhip Kuindzhi, Edouard Vuillard, Philip Malyavin, Erte, Lev Bakst, Tamara Lempicka, Emil Nolde - classics; as well as Armando Marinho, Zorikto, Andrey Remnev, David Hockney, Njideka Akunyili Crosby. The development of Svetlana’s artistic language and painting technique was influenced by fashion couturiers and fashion designers: Christian Lacroix, Yves Saint Laurent, John Galliano, Antonio Marras.

Svetlana Chertova lives and works in Moscow.

The works are in private collections.
