My name is Daria Kolosova.
I’m writing to share the correct information about me and my artistic journey, as we continue planning for the retreat. Please see the updated text below:
It may seem surprising, but Daria Kolosova was born beyond the Arctic Circle, in the harsh climate of Yakutia, under the most authentic northern lights. The Eskimos call this phenomenon the “Call of the Polar Star,” the Finns refer to it as “Fox Fires,” and the Chinese believe that a child born under the northern lights will possess extraordinary talent. And this prophecy came true!
I received a classical art education at a Russian university, which reflects the traditional skills of oil painting in the style of the old masters. However, my paintings go beyond classical boundaries: I create works with meaning, reflecting reality and often addressing pressing issues of our time. They are not just visually striking but also serve as a starting point for deeper reflection.
Today, my works are part of private collections across the globe. My signature style features paintings on copper. Together with my team, I developed a unique copper canvas with a special coating that transforms metal into a perfect base for painting. The process of creating our “copper slabs” remains a professional secret.
My style can be described as pop-realism, or as I call it, “VIP pop art.” Bold, vibrant, and conceptually profound, my paintings are for those who seek more than just decoration in art: they seek meaning, emotion, and a reflection of reality.
