About me
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.
Through my work, I am trying to explore the depths of emotion and individuality, capturing moments. People are my greatest source of inspiration—each person is a world of their own, with unique stories, expressions, and emotions. Through my paintings, I try to connect with the emotions and stories behind the faces.
Art, to me, is not just about what you see - it's about how it makes you feel.
