Tran Quoc Pagoda: Blooming Lotos (2024) Painting by Tomileka

Ekaterina Tomilovskaya is a contemporary Russian painter, living between Vietnam, France, and her native Russia. Throughout her life, Ekaterina has been devoted to the art of drawing, taking classes and sketching consistently regardless of the circumstances. Her journey took an enriching turn when she was sent to France for work, experiencing a transformative year in Paris. Immersed in the cultural richness of the city, she explored museums, galleries, and continued her passion for drawing. A semester spent in Vietnam allowed her to encounter Asian art, inspiring her to blend different styles and showcase her work through exhibitions.

Upon her return from France in 2017, Ekaterina delved deeper into her artistic education. Eager to refine her skills, she embarked on a journey of learning academic drawing and oil painting. From October 2017 to May 2019, she dedicated herself to a comprehensive two-year professional retraining course in "Painting and Drawing" at the non-profit organization, the "Academic Center for Creativity, Entrepreneurship, and Law." This program featured esteemed teachers from the Moscow State Academy of Arts, V. I. Surikova.

Ekaterina's artistic passion is prominently influenced by impressionism and the Alla Prima style. Seeking inspiration in the mundane aspects of everyday life, the natural world, and ordinary people, she infuses her work with a unique perspective. Her dedication to her craft and diverse influences have made her a dynamic presence in the contemporary art scene.
