Read MoreSevelana is the artistic name of Svetlana Kizereva, a Moscow-based interdisciplinary artist and interior designer.
Born in the Urals, she grew up surrounded by a world of stone, metal, forests and mountain landscapes — imagery that became part of her visual memory long before art and design became her profession.
Her experience working with space, light, object design, and photography has shaped a research-driven approach to her creative practice. Svetlana combines architectural thinking with visual exploration, working at the intersection of digital technologies, material techniques, and artistic experimentation.
Sevelana’s works emerge at the intersection of diverse visual cultures, photography, design, and an interest in the inner world of the individual. At the core of her practice are not narratives or characters, but states of being. Female figures become allegories of memory, anticipation, inner strength, choice, and movement. They exist not as portraits of specific individuals, but as reflections of human experience and emotion.
In 2026, her work Mirai. Time of Possibilities, from the series Within Time, was selected as one of the 12 shortlisted works for Canvas of the Future 2026, presented during the AI for Good Global Summit, organised by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the United Nations agency for digital technologies.
