Darya has been practicing art for over 20 years using different techniques and mediums. She has been studying traditional oil painting techniques during school years, exploring acrylics later in life. Growing up in a city at the foot of the mountains in Kazakhstan, residing in lush green Singapore for the last 6 years and now back to Dubai that feels like home after studying and working here for 8 years. Not to a surprise the variety of ethnics and nature has been her main source of inspiration. Current focus of her art is on portraits to highlight the beauty of individuals using mixed media techniques.
I’m trying to highlight the natural beauty of individuals, their diversity and uniqueness. I am trying not to only empower every female to be truly herself but also to embrace the differences. Using mixed media allowing me to find different ways to express new ideas and make artwork distinctive.
