Ksenia’s lifelong passion for painting began from as early as she can remember, always wishing to incorporate art into her way of life and inspire others. Now a contemporary artist based in Melbourne, Australia, Ksenia captures a sense of tranquillity found in the exploration of her surroundings such as nature, photography and architecture. Her minimalistic style balances a soft fluid palette with refined abstract forms, built layer by layer.

“When you immerse yourself in your environment and calm your mind, you notice subtle details with beauty in essence. Whether it’s the shimmering treetops swaying in the breeze, or the deep shades of the weathered wood after the rain, I’m drawn to it all.”

Her creative path further developed in Tokyo, Japan, where she completed a degree in fashion design. The pure aesthetic and unobtrusive beauty of the country heavily influenced her work, visible through her selection of raw canvas and organic processes.  

16 years in the fashion industry gave Ksenia the possibility to experiment in a broad spectrum of creative styles and refine her artistic vision. The transition to painting was a natural step that furthered the connection with her inner self allowing expression through her work. 

“Manipulating the colour flow with intuitive movements, I enjoy the organic process of the colours intertwining and revealing their harmonious hues. It’s so soothing and captivating.” 

Ksenia’s work aims to open an intimate dialog that transitions the viewer from their daily chaos to a remote restorative space, inviting them to look within and find the connection to the wider world.
