Born in an artistic family, Varvara Efimova merges her 13-year academic training in fine arts with contemporary stylistic elements. Employing personal mixed techniques that include delicate transparency and thick expressive layers of oil paint, her works appear as visual poetry, infusing unexpected color combinations and emphasizing the atmosphere over imagery. Through her exploration of emotional states and metaphoric usage of nature, Efimova beautifully captures the subtle tension between vulnerability and strength.
