My Inspiration



Snegurochka (Snow Maiden) – it’s a fairytale about a beautiful girl of snow, who came to life, as a last hope of the desolate people. It’s a symbol of soul purity, it’s a dream come true, it’s a priceless gift of life, which can melt like snow, if you don’t know how to keep it... White snow is like a clean sheet of paper, on which somebody will write their own new fairytale...
