About

 During my life I collected dolls and hold various master-classes of dolls handcraft. I travelled around the world and visited master-classes in painting and handcraft arts: Batik lessons in Malaysia, pastel master classes in Tibet and Bhutan, expressionism painting courses in Mexico, potter's wheel, wool painting, chinese paintings, and papier-mâché in Moscow.

In the past I have been interested in doll making and painting with acrylics in expressionistic style. I also experimented with incorporating dolls into the playback performance as it is a unique experience. We organised multiple playback performances using human-sized puppets made by myself.

Currently I am interested in ceramics and combining different textures, like papier-mâché and ceramics.
