Varvara Neiman was born into an artistic family in St. Petersburg, Russia, where art and teaching were professions passed on from generation to generation. At the age of 18 she became one of the youngest students admitted to the world-famous Academy of Fine Arts, where she gained her master’s degree. Her work combines classical discipline with a modern imagination. She is enthusiastic about painting en plein air and passionate about Cezanne’s famous quote: “Painting from nature is not copying the object; it is realizing one’s sensation…” As well as en plein air painting, her other genres include portraiture and life drawing, moving figures in watercolour — and her acclaimed cityscapes, capturing fleeting moments.
