Interwoven fabric strips evoke the flow of life. Eco-printing with natural pigments from Salento flowers, collected in autumn and spring, ties the work to the territory. Colors and recycled materials blend into a sustainable gesture that gives new life to what was forgotten.

The work "Impercettibile volare" celebrates the delicacy of nature. The tree's crown, lit with a fiery red extracted from madder root, intertwines time with gesture, evoking ancient knowledge. In the foliage, light as breath, birds dance, suspended between the visible and the invisible. It is an invitation to lose oneself in the silent heartbeat of the world, where every fragment of life intertwines with another, in a harmony that whispers and escapes, like a breath of wind.
The skin as a symbolic garment that accompanies and defines us, but at the same time is in constant transformation. The skin becomes a living diary, a boundary between our inner state and the external world.
The memory of Dox, a dog with remarkable sensitivity, remains indelible over time.
A work born from the encounter between Peruvian fabric, interpreted in watercolor, and a fragment of European bobbin lace, handmade with the delicate bobbin lace technique. Two distant traditions intertwine through shapes, gestures, and symbols that tell of different worlds yet capable of dialogue. Color and material blend to create an intense and poetic visual narrative. An invitation to look beyond borders, letting oneself be guided by the beauty of diversity.
The Wonder Cave represents an endless journey, a path where it is not the destination that gives meaning to the journey, but the experience of walking itself. It is the slow and profound discovery of the beauties we encounter along the way.
"Essence of the Sea" is a work that translates the movement of the sea into an abstract and essential form, reflecting on the connection between nature and its elements. The driftwood, collected on the coasts of Salento, carries the memory of its long journey, marked by water and time.

Born in Moscow and graduated in Decoration at the Academy of Fine Arts in Lecce, I live and work in Salento. My journey intertwines scenography, embroidery, and visual arts in a profound dialogue between material, time, and identity.
Time is my primary material. My gestures – sewing, painting, weaving – are slow and intentional, a meditative act that restores value to slowness in a society hungry for speed. Each thread becomes a narrative, each stitch a moment of poetic resistance.
I favor natural materials and sustainable techniques, giving new life to reclaimed fabrics. My works tell silent stories, suspended between tradition and experimentation, where the artisanal gesture meets contemporary vision.
