Elmira Shemsedinova was born in 1989 (Kyiv, Ukraine). Graduated with a Master’s Degree from the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture in 2017. Exhibiting since 2009. With a solid academic background Elmira is skilled in a wide range of techniques. Elmira draws inspiration from the masters of classical art, yet she innovates by blending this inspiration with modern knowledge to create an authentic, personal language of expression. One of her signature achievements is a technique she developed for imitating the delicate translucency of watercolor using oil paint. Her process is continually evolving, as she remains committed to exploring new approaches and ideas. Her approach, rooted in contemplative existentialism, seeks to engage viewers through empathy and compassion. She believes that beauty lies in the everyday and speaks directly to the soul through its unique forms. Held 8 personal exhibitions and participated in more than 40 collective projects, auctions, and art fairs in Ukraine and abroad. Artworks become a part of different collections in Europe, the USA, and China. Actively participated in competitions, international art residencies, and contemporary art symposiums.

Currently based in Graz, Austria.
