I am Varya Rusakova, a self-taught artist from Moscow, Russia. My artistic journey began unexpectedly during the quiet solitude of the COVID-19 lockdown, when what started as a simple hobby gradually evolved into something more. I am still very much on my journey as an artist, learning and experimenting with new styles and media. Every piece is a step in my growth, as I push myself to explore different techniques and approaches. The process of discovery is just as important as the final work, and I embrace the freedom of experimentation to find my voice as an artist.
