About this artwork
“Lost in Time” began with an oil portrait on linen that stood in my studio for years. I returned to it to create an image of womanhood spanning past, present and future. Clothing and accessories from different eras merge in one figure; a pixelated fragment visible through her white headdress hints at a technological future. Her reflection opens a space between memory and the present.
The composition draws the eye to one wide-open eye. Its gaze… seems directed inward, holding traces of many lives and times. It invites the viewer to look beyond the woman’s changing appearance and consider what remains within her as the world around her changes.
This unique hybrid work (1/1) digitally combines my oil painting with photographic details. It is printed on 192 g/m² Enhanced photographic paper and presented under glass in a black frame with a delicate gilded pattern along its inner edge.

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.
