Xenia Gray
"Art is a channel for me, through which I can express my emotions, be seen and understood by an observer.”
About
Xenia Gray is a contemporary figurative artist who primarily works in mixed media, including oil and acrylic. Fascinated by unexpressed feelings and things left unsaid, Xenia explores emotions through paintings of the human body.
Xenia grew up in Siberia in the aftermath of the Soviet Union's collapse, and her sense of color and aesthetics is heavily influenced by the industrial environment of her hometown. Xenia enrolled in a local art school at nine and continued her art education in Saint Petersburg, where she achieved an MA in advertisement design from Saint Petersburg State University of Technology and Design. She moved to the United States in 2010.
