Russian-born artist, I live and work in the Netherlands, and find inspiration in my travels around the world.

The millennium was a time of great change in my personal and professional life; I fully dedicated myself to the art and found in this my vocation.

There are two main directions in my work, and they are interdependent.

One results from deep reflection, meditation and expression of emotional and the most elusive moments of my inner life. This gives a character of spontaneity and uniqueness to each artwork. So I create my drawings and paintings.

Another one is whole impression of everyday life around me, reflected in artistic research in photography.

My drawings are done in ink on small size paper.

Regarding the paintings, I only work with oil on canvas.

In photography I use a variety of mediums and techniques, such as aluminum and acrylic; in the same way all my photographs reflect reality without digital editing.

In addition, to realize my artistic projects I founded Studio Ekaterina, where I organize various events, including workshops, exhibitions, open days, and so on.
