About this artwork
"Kite"
This work unfolds through a language of reduction: color, space, and a single stitched line. The thread, sewn through the canvas with a sewing machine, was a defining element of a series of my works — a gesture that transforms drawing into a physical trace.
The wide yellow field evokes the heat of a summer day on the North Sea coast: light, sand, wind, and the quiet vastness of the horizon. A dense blue rectangle appears like a fragment… of sky, while areas of raw canvas remain exposed, allowing the surface to breathe.
The stitched line traces the fragile trajectory of a kite in flight — a suspended movement between earth and sky. It is a small attempt to hold a fleeting moment: a memory of wind, childhood, and the freedom of open space.

I explore time as a living substance.
Through light, reflection, shadow and transformation, I seek to reveal the invisible presence of time and the traces it leaves behind. Working across painting, photography and moving image, I explore the hidden forces that shape nature and human experience, connecting the fleeting moment with eternity and the visible with the unseen.
Born in Novokuznetsk, Russia, in 1959, I have lived and worked in the Netherlands since 1991. I studied at the Kemerovo Regional Art Academy and the Stroganov Academy of Industrial Art and Design in Moscow, graduating with distinction.
My work has been presented in more than 100 solo and group exhibitions internationally and has received awards and nominations in international art, photography and film competitions. My artistic practice also includes books, films, lectures and commissioned portraits. My work is held in museum, public and private collections internationally.
