Sima Vassilieva was born in the Ukraine in 1954. A graduate of Moscow State University she has been painting since 1980 and has taken part in numerous prestigious
exhibitions. She works in an unusual painting manner on wooden boards creating colour-saturated pictures with a great sense of humour and grotesques combined with deep lyricism.
She is a London-based artist since 1990.
Sima's latest works are almost exclusively performed on the wood carved in the workshop of the late Scottish sculptor Tim Stead. The natural beauty of ring and grain pattern flowing through the timber is used by Sima to create organic and often abstract pictorial elements arranged in fluid compositions.
