Glafira Kotova

Glafira Kotova’s art bridges the timeless traditions of oil painting with the innovative possibilities of digital art, reflecting her exploration of life’s dualities. Fascinated by contrasts—nature and modernity, chaos and order, fleeting moments and enduring connections—her work creates visual narratives that inspire reflection and invite viewers to explore the delicate balance between these opposing forces.

Since relocating to the UK, Glafira’s focus has shifted toward digital art. Without access to a traditional studio, she embraced digital mediums as a flexible and limitless tool for creative expression. This transition has expanded her practice, enabling her to explore new ways to engage with her themes while maintaining the tactile energy and emotional depth that define her work.

Each piece Glafira creates is a dialogue between past and present, tradition and innovation. Her compositions, whether bold or intricate, connect viewers to their own experiences, memories, and the world around them. She strives to craft works that are both deeply personal and universally resonant, offering a space for reflection on the complexities of life and the connections that define humanity.
