Nadezhda Yagofarova

Artist and designer. Born in Samara, she currently lives and works in Moscow. In 2011, she studied Interior Design at the British Higher School of Art and Design. In 2013, she attended the Contemporary Art course at Sotheby’s Institute of Art in New York. From 2017 to 2022, she studied at the Art Business Department of the RMA School and the Department of Attribution of Antiques and Works of Art at the Russian State University for the Humanities; Nadezhda is also pursuing postgraduate studies in Cultural Studies at the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration. In 2024, Nadezhda is involved in the restoration of the Stroganov Estate in Volyshovo, Pskov Region. She is working on a doctoral dissertation devoted to the restoration of historic estates. In her artistic practice, Nadezhda employs a distinctive technique—the process begins with digital sketches, which later become the basis for oil paintings on canvas. In this way, the artist establishes a dialogue between digital and analogue art, setting out from the present day on a journey back to tradition.
