ABOUT ME

Hey! I'm Nastia, art historian and artist. I think I could define myself as intellectual, calm and easy-going person (but a little bit shy). I like to take care about people and help them to explore the area or teach them the things I know. My English is in the style of Google-translator (sorry for this in advance), but it doesn't stop me to joke, tell stories, share knowledge and discuss philosophical/ art stuff.

For past four years I have worked as a car salesman (to be precise -- saleswoman), psychologist (according to my first education), designer, stage decorator, guide, lecturer of contemporary art history, MOOC-courator, I worked in IT-startup (design an onboarding system) and now I make movies.

Between these strange works I travel, and like many here, I can not live without it.

I'm interested in arts, mostly visual. At different points in my life I did photography, painting and videoart.

I'm also keen on reading and western philosophy. And I love to rethink the reality artistically.
