Polina Popova is an artist working thru painting. Using different materials she creates painting ranging from large-scale acrylic works to small gouache and watercolour pieces.

She has developed a dynamics and abstract painterly practice of formal language that centers around exploring the possibilities of form and movement while displaying the structural power of color. Her vibrant works create space and motion by assembling different shapes into free-flowing patterns. Her work draws inspiration from the natural world, art, music, textiles, poetry, philosophy and literature – aboriginal art, suzani embroidery, Virginia Woolf, Legacy Russell – while also engaging in a persistent dialogue with art historical predecessors, such as Yayoi Kusama, Helen Frankenthaler, Pat Steir and Hilma af Klint.

Popova was born in 1981 in Sverdlovsk, USSR. She started painting since childhood, and created fantastic paintings in watercolors and gouache. She earned degrees from College of Art and Ural University, Philosophy, BA, Ekaterinburg, Russia. She is the recipient of the stipend grant from the Open Culture Foundation (OCF), London, United Kingdom (2014-2015). Popova has participated in various solo and group exhibitions.
