Vera
Ryankel

As a contemporary artist, I hold a Master’s degree from the Stieglitz State Academy of Art and Design (St. Petersburg, Russia).
My artistic roots are influenced by the analytical art school "Hermitage school," established by Gregory Dlugach (whose teacher was Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin). My mentors were Mark Tumin and Alexander Zaitsev.
Leveraging years of experience as a costume and fashion designer in film and fashion, collaborating with global creators and designing for major brands, I now express myself through fine art.  My work aims to inspire understanding and a sense of harmony beyond the surface, fostering a dialogue that resonates with the human experience and encourages connection. 
Through the interplay of shapes, colors, and forms, I convey multi-layered messages of love, peace, and acceptance, while exploring psychological and existential questions that reflect the interconnectedness of all things.
