Have you ever had a dream so wild it felt impossible to achieve?

My journey began in the icy embrace of Siberia, where dreams seemed frozen amidst the long, cold winters.

One morning, as I walked towards university in the darkness and minus 20°F weather, I felt a nagging sense that something wasn't right.

I had no clear vision for the future, I was merely drifting through life feeling lost.

Living in a small, grey city, I pursued an economics degree not out of passion but because it seemed like the only path.

It was hard to imagine anything else.

But then, out of nowhere, I got this crazy dream.

I wanted to see the ocean, feel its waves...
..and try surfing!

It was a dream that seemed impossible coming so unexpectedly in the middle of that winter morning.

But it felt real to me, so I decided to believe that this dream would come true.

After four years of dreaming, I finally made my way to Bali for a short trip. 

I was standing on the sandy shores of the Indian Ocean, ready to dive into the water with my surfboard.

As soon as paddled into the waves for the first time, tears of happiness streamed down my face.

In that moment, I felt a deep connection to myself, embracing who I truly was - a surfer!

It all felt like magic, but I had to go back home to reality.

I found myself lost again.

I just moved to Moscow with a fresh degree in economics and with no idea what to do next.

All I could think about was the ocean.

Life had more surprises in store. Soon after, I fell deeply in love with the world of fine art and became a painter.

Suddenly, I had this crystal-clear vision of my dream life - living by the ocean, being a surfer and an artist.

Looking back, it seemed like the wildest dream for a girl born in the middle of the desolate tundra of Siberia, unaware that being an artist could actually be a career choice.

I was still far away from my vision.

Yet, I held onto my dream like my life depended on it.

I repeated "I am a surfer and an artist" like a mantra, and you know what? It worked!

It fueled my journey and led me to getting a degree in illustration and moving to Indonesia.

Today, I reside in Morocco, living my dream by the ocean, regularly surfing, and creating art in my beautiful studio.

I am happy in love, and I have the best friends in the world.

And a cat!

How did it all happen?

The pivotal factor in my success was continuously nurturing my mindset.

I learned that transformation begins within the mind before it manifests in reality.

With intention, positive affirmations, and unwavering action, I honed a clear vision of my desires.

Now, my mission is to share this amazing knowledge with others.

So, in the summer of 2022, I created this art collection to spread the magic of positive affirmations to everyone out there.

Every single piece in this collection is crafted with one purpose in mind - to help people manifest their dreams!
