Margarita
Smirnova

I was born in 1989 in the Kostroma region and lives and works in Saint Petersburg. The artist's journey began with an art education starting from art school and continuously develops throughout my life. I received my education at the Krasnoselsky Art College, graduating in 2008 with a specialization in "Decorative Arts and Folk Crafts - Jewelry Artist". 

In 2014 I graduated from the Kostroma State Technological University with a degree in "Technology of Artistic Processing of Materials" - a technologist of jewelry production. In 2023 I obtained additional education as an Art Therapist at the Institute of Psychology in Saint Petersburg. I have studied painting throughout all these years.

I goal of my projects is to explore objects, combine forms and colors, and create on canvas what the subconscious dictates. I investigate themes for uniqueness, searches for compatible materials, and conducts aesthetic experiments.

I experiment with various materials such as oil paints, oil pastels, acrylics, and metal leaf. I actively work in the technique of oil painting in Saint Petersburg.
