Biography:

Born in Moscow. Lived for several years abroad after graduating from the Monumental Department of the Moscow Stroganov Art Industrial Institute. Her personal exhibitions were organized in Great Britain, the U.S.A., Hungary and Yugoslavia during this time. Now she is again in Moscow and trying her possibilities in pedagogics and of course continues to devote herself to creativity.
There are no stark and sharp forms in Shagina's artworks, the contours of emerging sometimes objects are scrappy and not developed totally. They resemble blurred pictures of half fogotten dreams and can be difficulty associated with any definite style. It is neither geometrical abstraction nor abstract impressionism, it is just images of the artist's inner space, both symbolic and emotional.
