Lera Kozina was born in 1970.She studied at the Russian Art School and
finished it in 1985.Her parents where not painters
themselves, but when she was 19 she married into a family of
famous Moscow painters and jewelers. So not surprisingly Lera
is also doing jewelers work and she makes her own collection
of Enamel jewelery. Her teacher in Moscow Art College was the
famous paiter Youri Georgevich Sedov. She graduated College in
1989. Lera's preferred painting-material became oil on canvas
and she loves to paint nature.
As a painter she followed in
the footsteps of Alexander the Great and Marco Polo and joined
an archeological expedition to the Karakum desert, an area of
about 35 million ha , about 70% of the whole territory of
Turkmenistan ( the old silk route), to discover all about old
civilisations. Her assignment here was to draw houses,
household goods, cultural objects and stamps of some 5000
years ago. In these inspiring surroundings she was very
impressed by the many kinds of flowers and butterflies she
found along the way. Each week the dessert was covered once
again by unbelievable flowers.This topic can be found
extensively in her work even today. Three years ago she
traveled through Egypt. In her new paintings a series of
eastern motives appeared after this trip. And under the
influence of her travels her colors also changed; they became
more bright and sunny. In more recent years she worked
regularly in the West, specifically in Germany and the
Netherlands. In recent paintings she painted views of
beautiful Amsterdam canals. Still Lera's life is very much
attached to Moscow life. In the centre of Moscow her atelier
is a mere 100 metres from Arbat street, the old painters
neighborhood. Though today everything breathes an atmosphere
of change here. The days of the Soviet Union have past. Still
the echoes of those time are still apparent. The atelier where
she works was build in 1933 by the architect and
constructivist Ginsbourg. The idea was to build a new society
where woman and men where working and living seperately. They
only where to meet in the dining room and privately ofcourse.
The idea of this house was "to go into a bright new future of
socialism."
When she is not abroad you can find her
painting here or on Patriarchia Prudy. But you will always
find her working with music on; Haydn and Schubert and the
grand opera bass singer Shalyapin. Fanatic in her job she also
works outside even in the worst of Russian climat
conditions.
