Welcome! My name is Ekaterina.
I'm visual artist and an independent director of animation films.
I'm living and working in Gent, Belgium. I studied monumental art and painting at the Stieglitz State Academy of Art and Design in St. Petersburg. I graduated with great distinction in 2000. I created many different monumental works in other countries.
I have attended classes for directing and animating at the St. Petersburg State University of Film and Television. I created my debut animated film Love Pray Fight (2016) for the exhibition of Indian art in Brussels, Belgium. I organized the animation studio DAR for my youngest son and served as inspiration for his films. My New Year (2016) was screened at more than 30 children's film festivals, and The Dog Story (2018) has won around 15 awards in local and international youth film festivals.
Since 2019, I has been working on her first big animation project Kuumba Umbo, or Birth of Form, for the African Arts exhibition at the State Hermitage Museum
in St. Petersburg.
