My work ranges from illustrations and life drawing sketches, to solid paintings and ceramic objects, wall paintings, etc. Often focusing on the creation of a series of work I prefer to use different media (such as acrylic, watercolors, ink, pencils and pastels).The work takes on various forms intended to involve the viewer as a co-author and a witness, creating new and unpredictable cycles of thoughts and associations.

Artist's Statement
"Who i am? Am i what my hands create? Am i what my thoughts are defining as Polina? Am i what others see as a person called Polina?..our roots, genetic memory, elements, energies and Light - these are some of important summands besides those our materialistic reality makes us to believe we are. Some of my art is focused on outer aspects, but i find it important not to forget the inner. World history, anthropology, textile varieties, handicraft , old pagan traditions, spiritual teachings..- those are some of my interests and main sources of creativity."
