Kate Grishakova

	My name is Kate Grishakova. I am a Russian-Slovak artist. I create vivid, bright paintings in an impressionistic manner. I compose poems, which often reflect my boundless love for people and life.   I started to paint when I was a child. I definitely can say, that I do it my whole life! My favorite art materials are oil colors and watercolors, but sometimes I paint with acrylics and craft things.

 

I was born on 21 November 1994 in the town of Zhukovsky near Moscow. Since then I have traveled a lot and have always been on the search for something beautiful, lively, and transcendent. For me, the meaning of life is life itself, in its uniqueness and unpredictability. I try to capture a moment of beauty so I take paints and paper with me and create on Plein air.

I was studying painting in Art Studio in Russia for 8 years until I came to Bratislava. I graduated from mathematical school with a gold medal in 2012, then the Plekhanov Russian University of Economics with honor in 2016. I made my diploma thesis on the topic «Project of Art School Gallery in Bratislava» and now realized it!

I came to Bratislava in 2015 as an exchange student and found tremendous inspiration here, so I decided to finish my Master's degree at the Slovak University of Economics.

Bratislava became a place where hundreds of roads came together.

Now I work as a freelance artist and teach people how to paint in my own studio in Bratislava.
