EKATERINA SHERSTNEVA
ARTIST

Born in the Urals. Graduate of the Ural State Academy of Arts. Resident of the “Art Workshop” collective. Member of the Union of Artists and Decorators (Painting/Graphics).

Her artistic language is marked by sensuality, scale, monochrome collections, mystical realism, experimentation, magnetic presence, and bold authorial techniques.
Series often revolve around collectible retro, classic, and futuristic car imagery, as well as abstract cosmic landscapes.

She creates worlds and observes their timeless connections from a place of focused presence. Each detail carries echoes of civilizations, epochs, and matter, merged into a whole.

Emotions of the elements take form on canvas through images she perceives.
Inspired by the raw nature of things and events, and by creativity in all its forms. Mediumship, energy, flow, and cosmic vision are her true pigments and gravitational forces.
Driving as a life philosophy. The car — an ideal metaphor for entering the material world.
Wine — as blood and labor, the living water of time.

Textures of nature, cosmic scale of each grain, atomic harmony in the reactions and materials of the universe.
Her practice is rooted in academic painting, constantly reimagined through textures, colors, and depth to serve each work’s intent.
Love as the tuning fork of clarity and the essence of living art.

A special part of her work is painting with wine. She creates entire series with rare collectible wines, having developed her own wine-based palettes and tools: wine pencils, pigments, markers.

Creator of custom palettes for EARTHBERRY dry pastels: “Dry Wine” sets of 6 and 18 shades.
I regularly participate in exhibitions. I have presented my works in Moscow at the Manege Central Exhibition Hall, and my paintings have been exhibited at VDNKh. Currently, my works can be viewed and purchased at the TOYIARTI Gallery in Moscow.
My paintings are part of the collection at the Vadim Zadorozhny Museum of Technology in Moscow, the UMMC Museum of Automotive Technology in Verkhnyaya Pyshma, and the Museum of Automotive Art in Yalta. They are also in private collections and galleries around the world.
