Born in Petrozavodsk, Nadezhda Kasatkina currently lives and works in St. Petersburg. In 1978, she graduated from the Boris Ioganson Art School under the auspices of the Academy of Arts of the USSR, and in 1984, from the Repin Institute for Painting, Sculpture and Architecture.
In 1991, Nadezhda joined the Artists’ Union of Russia. Between 2008 and 2010, she was working in Paris at the invitation of Cité Internationale des Arts.
Over the years, Nadezhda Kasatkina’s art has been praised by art critics and painting connoisseurs alike. In his review of the 1st Elaginoostrovsky Art Auction, art historian Yury Novikov wrote: ‘The exhibits on show prove that our Northern artists can paint just as brightly and vividly as Nadezhda Kasatkina does in her highly ornamental canvases.’ The artist’s motto is ‘To achieve ultimate expression of each image and symbol.’
The artist’s works are in private collections in Russia, Ukraine, Finland, France, Canada, UK, US, and Poland.
