Born in 1981 in Moscow, Antonina Arakelian showed a strong passion for art from an early age — fascinated by colors, textures, and shapes. This enthusiasm accompanied her throughout her youth and led her to study art and fashion design at the Kosygin State University of Russia.

In 2000, she moved to Germany, where she successfully completed a degree in graphic design. Over the following years, she gained diverse professional experience, working creatively in various agencies and companies.

In 2024, she felt the need to pause and reflect — to rediscover herself and what truly matters in life, including what she may have set aside along the way. In this process, a deep longing to create with her hands resurfaced — to feel the colors between her fingers. This passion has since become an integral part of her life again.

Today, art holds a central place in her everyday life and continues to guide her personal and creative journey.
