“If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint,’ then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.”
Welcome, I am the founder of Zhenya’s Art Academy, a place for dedicated artists who want to take their art to a professional level.
In our classes, we turn to the old masters for inspiration and technique and work with live models. You will equally benefit from the traditions being passed down as well as experimentation in various materials. Each student receives a unique approach and I will help you perfect your ability to see and carry out your vision.
After painting for over 30 years I know what it takes to overcome art challenges both technical and emotional. You will benefit directly from decades of my accumulated knowledge. Students in our programs feel ready to create, have tools to do so, are filled with inspiration, develop their own signature style, and have an outlet to express themselves. I am here to mentor you along the way.
