My full Russian name is Dina Alexandrovna Perejogina. I was born in St Petersburg (Leningrad as it was known then), Russia during April 1976. My mother and father are both artists they're together studied in the Art University Serovo of St Petersburg. I grew up with my mother and my brother in St Petersburg when my parents separated. My father is now responsible for restoring Russian Icon art along with other important state artefacts.
I guess you could say that I am following in my parents' footsteps, as I graduated from the St Petersburg Art Restoration school and subsequently became interested in wildlife drawing and painting.
In 1996 I moved to the UK and I am now a British Citizen, happily married with two lovely children.
My love of wildlife and fine art has led me to develop a very detailed style of work. I have my father to thank for this gift! I will usually spend several weeks on a painting to ensure I capture the intricacy and essence of my subject. I always try and create emotion in my paintings, in the hope that the owners of my work will be moved to smile whenever they catch sight of it.
My New Stage Classical Sculptures Art
Some of my recent paintings have changed direction after ten years experience painting mainly animals. I have reached the blissful and fulfilling transition towards this alluring style of work. Classical sculptures embody emotions for many people, they touch on deep feelings and profound understanding. I am really looking forward to explore further into this subject with my oil painting techniques.
