Laundry Lines in the Courtyard
An original hand-painted watercolor on Fabriano paper, depicting an urban courtyard filled with hanging laundry. The work combines delicate washes with expressive line drawing to capture everyday life, lightness, and the intimate rhythm of a lived-in neighborhood.

Art for me is a way of life โ a language through which I observe, explore and process the world around me. I was born in St. Petersburg, a city that has been a source of inspiration for me from a young age โ in culture, aesthetics and the urban landscape. I began my path as a child in the studio of a local artist, and painting has accompanied me ever since. Upon my immigration to Israel, I continued to study and deepen the language of painting โ through private teachers and courses at Bezalel. Today, I live and create in Ramat Gan, and run an independent painting studio where I teach adults. Teaching nourishes my personal creation and deepens my connection to material, color and human encounter. I paint in a variety of media โ oil, acrylic, pastel and drawing โ but watercolors are the material that feels most accurate to me. I love their ability to contain both delicacy and boldness, and the space they open up to light, transparency and imagination.
