Mijn Profiel
Nuttige links:
I was born in Moscow in 1977.
I arrived in Belgium when I was 18 tot work as an au pair, where I subsequently studied law and management.
After 15 years' career working international companies, I decided to take up sculpturing, thus renewing a childhood passion.
I have been described as someone full of energy.
It is this energy that I would like to breathe into the pieces I work on.
I am fascinated by the idea of infusing movement into a sculpture.
It is a wonderful challange, working in bronze, tot capture a movement at that moment of intensity and tot give an impression of lightness!
My desire is that my works dance, jump and play...that they are alive!
I am inspired by life around me.
At the same time, I have realised that in my bronze sculptures, I recreate my childhood dreams: figure-skating, ballet,gymnastics...I wached these for hours on television when I was a little girl in Moscow.
I admire these women (and men) who through effort and determination manage to give us an incredible impression of elegance and lightness...
This is also what I am to achieve in my work...
