CV My name is Lena Zaprudskikh.By representing my artworks I`d like to express the way I see this world. I`ll do it in a way I`m used to doing – extremely simple. As materials I usually use: paper and gouache, also acrylic and canvas. The only thing I need for inspiration is to go outdoor and see ordinary people, nature, life. Born May 31, 1989 in Russian north town Mirny near Archangelsk. I was studying in local art school for eight years. Later was taking my master of art degree in Saint-Petersburg (Higher School of Folk Arts (academy)). Participant in a significant number of collective exhibitions (including several exhibitions in New Tretyakov gallery). Also organized more than twenty personal exhibitions in Saint-Petersburg. I was working as a flight attendant in the air company «Pobeda» for a long period. I`ve visited a lot of countries and many cities in Russia, which affected my development as an artist. As my university teacher said «standing in one place don`t let you see the point», only constant moving and meeting different people can become an endless source of inspiration for me. |
