ART WORKS
ISABELLA, 17x12 cm (beads 11/0; wooden beads 5-7 mm; wire, gold and silver; beads thread A and D). Bezeling wooden beads, stringing leaves on wire. 2010
One of the first beaded compositions is a ripe bunch of grapes. I worked on it to the accompaniment of a song by Bulat Okudzhava: «I will bury a Grape seed in the warm earth, and I will kiss the vine and pluck ripe bunches»...
BEE AND GRAPES, 13x9 cm (Czech beads; wooden beads (6 mm); copper wire; Silamide thread). Stringing, bead netting. 2003
AUTUMN PICTURE, 30x24 cm (Japanese beads; organza; brocade; silk thread). Smooth and beading embroidery, stitching of leaves. 2007
This painting is based on the works of a talented St. Petersburg artist Vera Shanskaya.
AUTUMN BOUQUET IN JAPANESE STYLE, 7х5 см (porcelain; glass bead, copper wire). Beads stringing, working with wire.1997
Each of my works has its own beginning: sometimes it is nature, sometimes poetry, sometimes admiring Japanese ikebana…
WEDDING BOUQUET, 5x5 cm (Czech beads; copper wire; vase made from tape; velvet). Beads stringing, working with wire. 1988
IKEBANA WITH SPIKELETS, 8x5 cm (shell; Czech beads; copper wire; velvet). Beads stringing, working with wire. 1998
INSPIRATION, 5x8 cm. Working with wire, beads stringing. 1999
Sometimes the composition is born from what lies on the table: a tiny piece of black lace; a porcelain leaf; a gear from a pocket watch; amber with a black streak like an eye… As Akhmatova once said... «If only you knew from what rubbish poetry grows out of…»

On the stretcher is beaded embroidery on the themes of Kazimir Malevich. I like to learn things that I haven't tried in my life yet… Who knows what I'll have to do in the future? What I firmly believe is that I will not stop doing beads and look for new creative opportunities…
