Leather artist/The art of leather
Saint Petersburg, Russian Federation
Creativity is like air to me. I can't live without it.
For over fifteen years, I've been making mixed-media dolls, each with its own character and story.
Then, in 2021, I stumbled upon a leatherworking intensive course... and I was hooked
I fell in love with this material—its smell, its pliability, the way leather feels in your hands.
Now I combine leatherworking with doll making.
I design each bag from scratch: from the idea and pattern to the color, texture, and details.
For me, these aren't just accessories—they're small works of art you can carry with you every day.
My motto: art that's always with you.
