I did not come to contemporary art immediately. My first education was in textile design in Moscow. Then came years of illustration — books, magazines, greeting cards. I learned to speak to a person through image rather than words. After the collapse of the country, life changed and art disappeared from my daily routine for a time. I returned to it many years later — already a different person. Not as a profession, but as a way to understand reality. Moving to California changed the language of my work again. Landscape gave way to observation: what happens to a human being in a technological world where memory is increasingly stored outside of us. One of the defining characteristics of my practice today is the seamless integration of disciplines that are often treated as separate: physics, philosophy, photography, painting, artificial intelligence, and optical technologies. These elements are not combined for novelty or spectacle. Rather, they form a natural artistic language through which she explores perception, memory, reality, and the evolving relationship between humans and technology. As a result, her works do not read as collections of contemporary trends. They emerge as coherent visual investigations, where concept and medium are inseparable, and where scientific thought and poetic imagination illuminate one another.Some of my works have been acquired by private collectors from the USA, Germany, Switzerland and Russia.
In my artistic practice, I explore the reality hidden behind familiar images and the visual noise of the contemporary world. Using photography and digital technologies, I reveal unexpected connections, paradoxes, and meanings that already exist around us but often remain unnoticed.
I do not create images.
I accompany light on its journey toward meaning.

"Qubit Great Thinker" work is lenticular print with Flip effect:
This work examines procrastination not as delay, but as a latent state of transformation.
The figure does not act. It accumulates.
Time is not lost — it condenses inward, compressing thought and identity into a state of internal tension. What appears as inaction is, in fact, a hidden phase of reconfiguration.
At a critical threshold, continuity breaks.
The human form of Great Thinker transitions into a Qubit — a unit suspended between multiple potential states. In this condition, identity is probabilistic. Thought becomes computational.
The surrounding cube, encoded with binary structure, represents the final stage: a closed system in which all possibilities are reduced to execution. The ambiguity of hesitation is eliminated. Only one state remains.
This is not evolution in a classical sense.
It is a discontinuity — a shift from being to processing.
Procrastination, here, is revealed as a precondition for rupture.
A silent interval before irreversible transformation.
This work continues the "Forest Spirits" series, in which natural forms begin to resemble human gestures without actually becoming human.
The image is based on a photograph of an unusual tree that I took at a playground in Pasadena while out for a walk with my grandson. The tree’s shape reminded me of a figure with its branches raised like arms. With a touch of imagination, a child appears in those arms, and the tree transforms into a parent joyfully tossing the child into the air.
In this composition, I have expressed a moment of unity, love, and overflowing joy. A fairytale-like image—glimpsed in everyday life—has been metaphorically reimagined .
This is not merely a scene of a parent and child, but the trace of a gesture preserved in nature—nature that seems to be watching over us.
“"Schrödinger's Cats"triptych with 2 lenticulars”
The paradox does not need to be resolved.
It exists simultaneously in every possible state.
Rising from the darkness of a Black Square, an impossible cube becomes a space of uncertainty. At its center, Schrödinger’s cat holds a candle, suspended between life and death. Bridging Suprematism and quantum paradox, the work explores the limits of perception and what remains unknowable beyond the reach of reason.
