about Me

Daring to be DIFFERENT is a burden, but so is а FREEDOM …
Freedom to be yourself.
My name is Polya and I draw.
It is a great honor for me to present you my art space, THANK YOU, to anyone who will be touched by my work now and in the future.

I ‘ve been drawing since I was a child. Then I stopped. For a long time. I started working a “responsible” job – far  from the field of art. Until the drawing came back almost imperceptibly. It crept slightly, like a joke six years ago, to re-establish itself seriously in my life.
 At first the colors started pouring  as pictures on textile. That’s how I became a craftsman.Then came the paintings and this self-contained online space.

I adore art in all of  its manifestations. I love to recreate things and places that carry a deep meaning, to transform folk elements from our symbolic rich past. I am influenced by the simplicity and elegance of Asian art.
I’m experimenting!
Thank you, to the teachers who have appeared in my life and to the friends who support me!
