"Memory Of Montparnasse"
A series from the early 2000s inspired by an imagined Paris of the Impressionist era — a world before wars and revolutions. The artist places herself in the Montmartre and Montparnasse of the early 20th century: among gardens, studios, quiet interiors, and soft afternoon light. Portraits and interiors are united by the atmosphere of a time the artist never lived in, yet felt deeply connected to. Light, air, the springtime of life, and the fleeting beauty of the moment.

I was born in the Soviet Union into a multi-generational family of artists, absorbing the foundations of classical art from an early age. I earned my second Master's degree (MFA) in Painting and Theater from the Ukrainian Academy of Fine Arts. Today, I live and work in northern Israel, in the city of Nahariya, where I teach art, stage directing and painting. My work is rooted in a deep classical tradition, which I reinterpret through a personal and contemporary lens. In my paintings, I devote significant time to the process, carefully exploring every detail, and combining traditional classical techniques with modern materials—striving to create works of depth, sensitivity, and timeless quality.
