Slow down and think calmly.
Having had the experience of living in various, large urban cities such as St. Petersburg, Helsinki and Rome, her creative work is based and enriched by these three cultures: Russian, Scandinavian and Italian.
In all her work the textile designs has always an artistic expression and is not just a functional and devoid content or commercial tool. She wants to show that her way of working is timeless, it combines art with functionality. For this reason her work requires cross-disciplinary research of the materials and techniques.
