Park on the islands (2021) Painting by Rita Ko

I was born in the USSR. The beautiful Southern Urals is my homeland.
I have spent my childhood outdoors in the mountains, among majestic forests and endless meadows, on the rocky banks of mountain rivers and lakes. The world around me was so kind, generous, and magnificent that I had no chance of not becoming an artist.

I've been doing art all my life.
I studied a lot and with great pleasure. I was educated at the Moscow Art and Industrial School named after M.I. Kalinin and the Repin Academy of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg.

I worked as an artist, illustrator, designer, art director, and taught composition and art history. I designed exhibitions and interiors, catalogues and books for museums, developed collections of patterns for the textile industry, and did graphic design. I am a member of the Russian Union of Designers.

I have always been drawing and experimenting a lot. I really like to study everything new and incomprehensible: materials, formats, technologies.

My beloved family, animals, nature, and every new day outside the window are endlessly inspiring.

My works are in private collections in England, USA, the Netherlands, Germany, Australia, France, Finland and Russia.
