Dina Aseeva is an emerging Russian artist who currently lives and works in Turkey.

She started to paint with watercolor when she was 2 years old, since then it became her great passion and one of her favorite mediums. After formal education which she got at Voronezh Art School and Stroganov Art Academy, Dina continued to explore possibilities of watercolor, different styles and techniques, moving from the classical concept of painting to more elusive and expressionistic one. She successfully participated in workshops of the famous contemporary watercolorists: Alvaro Castagnet, Endré Penovac, Alexander Votsmush, Konstantin Sterkhov and the masters appreciated her artworks and style. She also worked in oil and pastel, when finally discovered acrylic. This medium which combines properties of oil and watercolor gave her a vast field for experiments and became a start for a new phase in her artistic life. Dina is hugely inspired by impressionism and expressionism, nevertheless she likes working in her unique style and developing her own artistic language.

Dina participated in local and international exhibitions since childhood. When she was 7 years old she gained her first prize for the best artwork dedicated to the Second World war, later this artwork took part in an international exhibition in the USA. Her artworks are presented in private collections and galleries in Russia, Europe, Turkey, Israel, the USA and South America. A series of her watercolors and sketches were bought by Alexander Alekseev for his Gallery of Contemporary Art in Gelendzhik, Russia.

Now Dina has her studio in Turkey, near Dalaman. The studio is open to visitors almost all year. She lives and works near the sea which she loves and paints almost every day. She also loves sailing, so the boats and regattas are another common subject of her artworks. In 2021 she crossed five seas on a sailing yacht, creating a series of sketches and studies for the future artworks. When you look at her paintings you can feel the energy of the place, the beauty of the moment and the harmony which gives us nature.
