Leri Pai
My art is an exploration of the bond between woman and nature. In my paintings I seek to erase the borders between the human and the natural: woman grows through her surroundings, being its heart and its continuation. For me, it is a single, breathing, living organism.
About the artist
Valeria Kuznetsova (pen name Leri Pai), born 1993 in Ulyanovsk. I live and work in Moscow. I graduated from the Ulyanovsk State Pedagogical University named after Ulyanov, Faculty of Foreign Languages. For over 10 years I worked as a designer and illustrator.
I capture the image of woman in her most sensitive, delicate states: in moments of harmony, tenderness, open vulnerability and deep communion with the world.
My visual language is woven from fairy-tale imagery and metamorphoses. On my canvases, big-eyed giant flowers bloom, women take on the features of forest fairies and gradually turn into flowers themselves, dissolving into primordial natural beauty.
My art is a reminder of our feminine essence: sensitive, creative and eternal, like nature itself. We ourselves are Nature.
