ARTIST STATEMENT

If I were more restrained, less daring, and not quite so reckless — creation would be impossible for me. I believe true art is born from chaos, from untamed sexual energy. It cannot be controlled; it can only be surrendered to. On the other side of fear lies one’s unique creative style and potential.
My paintings, along with my photography and sketches, testify to this wildness. They explore themes often considered taboo, expressed through visual distortions, deliberate mistakes, and dreamlike hallucinations.

KIRA

Artist & art therapist

I’ve been told I shouldn’t call myself an artist or an art therapist, since I never studied fine arts in the academic sense. But growing up in a family of artists in St. Petersburg gave me a different kind of education — one rooted in intuition rather than technique. My works are not “correct” in the academic way, and I embrace that. To me, this imperfection is precisely what makes my voice belong to the 21st century: a time that values raw creativity over strict logic.

masquerade of emotions

Some say you’d need to be on mushrooms to paint something like this. For me, it’s enough to stare at a blank canvas and watch a face appear inside a vagina (“Mr. Vagina”), or to see Casanova’s mask suddenly slip into the shape of a dolphin (“Clownade of Feelings”).

Sketches / Pastels

sketches

I began to let my hand wander across the page when I entered personal therapy. At the time, I thought I was just sketching my emotions, unaware that it would eventually bloom into my own genre of emotional drawings.

Documentary & portrait

Photography (2017-2021)

Film is my love, my obsession, the passion that shaped me into the artist I am today. It opened for me the drama of a black-and-white world — only to make me hunger for color even more

ART THERAPY

People might argue, but I’m convinced: female sexuality isn’t about being aggressively attractive. It’s about an honest, raw intimacy with your own feelings and body. The most irresistible woman is the one who shows her emotions openly, without guilt, without fear.

That’s the journey I take women on in my art therapy sessions — helping them unlock themselves through painting, movement, and voice.

« I’m not a creative person »

Art therapy doesn’t ask you to be an artist — it asks you to be human. You don’t need talent or skill; art itself is a universal tool that reaches the psyche beyond mental walls. After just one session, something shifts: clarity surfaces, inner conflict loosens its grip, and you find yourself breathing with more freedom, more lightness.

« It won’t work for me »

Many of the women who come to me are business leaders, used to making decisions and chasing results. In our work, we gently shift the focus: from outcome to process, from control to presence. And in that presence, emotions begin to speak. Suddenly, the inner world they had no time for in daily life reveals its depth, its colors, its voice.

« I don’t feel safe to share my emotions »

Art therapy sessions create a space where you can let your inner parts feel at ease. It’s a place where it’s okay to be scares or overwhelmed or angry. I create this place as a safe space to live through all of your emotions, notice them and let go. Feelings leave, art stays.
