About Daria

Daria Avdeeva is an oil painter based in Dubai, UAE. Daria’s artistic journey is deeply rooted in the rigorous traditions of classical oil painting techniques she studied in esteemed academies across Italy, Russia, and Bulgaria. Born in Russia and raised in the UAE since 1997, she grew up immersed in a dynamic fusion of cultures that enriched her artistic vision. From a young age, she displayed a natural inclination toward drawing and painting, which soon evolved into a disciplined pursuit of fine art.

Her training in traditional schools provided her with a strong foundation in still life, portraiture, and figurative painting, emphasizing technical precision, composition, and emotional depth. These formative experiences instilled in her a deep appreciation for classical methods while also encouraging a unique, contemporary interpretation. As she developed her voice, Daria began blending these time-honored techniques with a modern sensibility, resulting in vibrant, emotionally resonant works that celebrate both tradition and innovation.

Her compositions are distinguished by their lively colour palettes and a fresh perspective that bridges the past with the present. Through dedicated study and a relentless curiosity, Daria continues to evolve, constantly exploring new ways to push the boundaries of her craft.
