I was born in a small town
of Russia that has a unique location directly on the border Europe and Asia. I
grew up in a family of artist's who nurtured and encouraged my creative talent.
I spent 6 years in Junior Art School and 4 years in University with formal
studies focused on the traditions of the Russian Realistic School or Art, where
my specialty was portraiture.
In November of 1998 my
kids and I moved to America. Since then I’ve lived in Florida, working as a freelance artist first
and an art teacher. I love to travel and I love
Florida. I feel that my home is here now.
For these last years my
paintings became more and more abstract with bright expressive color. While I am capable of working in different
genres, one of my favorites is a figurative. They inspire nostalgia about
previous generations, events and cultures and capture the beauty, wonder and
emotion of the human experience. Whether it is a portrait, a genre, a landscape
or a still-life, I Like touching one's soul, challenging one's mind, and not
allowing the beholder to remain indifferent.
My work is displayed in
both public and private collections throughout Russia, Europe, Australia, Canada, Japan, and
the United States.
I am a published and
gallery artist that creates one of a kind, GALLERY QUALITY PAINTINGS at
reasonable prices, you will enjoy and treasure this paining for many years.

XoXo, Lana
