2024

Born in Yoshkar-Ola, Russia, Sveta Hessler's artistic journey is deeply rooted in the vibrant cultural tapestry of her childhood, enveloped in the sounds of her family's singing and the melodies of guitars and balalaikas. This rich, musical backdrop has profoundly influenced her approach to art, infusing her works with rhythm and color. Sveta pursued her early academic interests by earning a degree in Social Psychology from the University of Moscow Social-Psychology in 1999. Seeking new horizons, she moved to the United States, where she continued her education and received a Cosmetology degree from the College of San Mateo in California in 2008. Despite her diverse educational background, Sveta's passion for art prevailed, leading her to embrace painting as her primary expression. Now a self-taught artist with fifteen years of experience, Sveta excels in abstract expressionism and is renowned for her abstract spheres created using bold, bright colors and rich textures. Sveta’s art celebrates life and beauty, drawing inspiration from nature, urban landscapes, cinematic narratives, and literary characters. Each stroke of her brush explores human emotions, moods, and the distinctiveness of the human spirit. Describing her art as gentle, happy, and uplifting, Sveta adds a touch of magic to each piece, transforming her canvases into vibrant stories that resonate with cheerfulness and vitality. For Sveta, painting is not just an activity but a state of happiness and a profound way to connect with the world around her, making her truly alive.
