Nadia was born and grew up in Russia. She has been involved in creativity since childhood, she drew a lot. Childhood spent in Mongolia had a great influence on the perception of the world. It was then that she realized how diverse the world is - a different nature, people, culture. Buddhist temples, masks, giant statues, music, ornaments amazing the imagination. All this enriched the inner world and had a great impact on the development of personality. These paintings remained forever, like prints, in her memory, which would become the subject of her research in the future.

Describe your creative process.
The picture becomes a game experiment that allows her to reveal the traditional optics of perception of reality and explore more deeply the inner space located beyond the mind. My creative process looks like an impulse to embody inner visions and feelings. The viewer subconsciously picks up these vibrations, his feelings and emotions serve as a response. In this way, there is a transformation and movement of energy between me and the viewer.
