Venetian Lightfall
A luminous watercolor on paper capturing a Venetian gondola gliding across rippling water at sunset. Soft washes of gold, lavender, and blue create an atmospheric city silhouette, while the loose, painterly handling gives the scene a romantic and quietly timeless presence.

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.
