Savva was born and lives in Saint Petersburg, the cultural capital of Russia.
All the artist's paintings are painted in oil using a special uniquely designed technique that is being traced in all Savva’s works, with brushes and palette knifes. Moreover, the artist often “painted” with palette knifes the details themselves to make them look more architectural. In some works, on the contrary, the background is created with strokes of palette knife and the central detail is exquisitely painted with brush. An interesting fact is that creating her paintings the author often uses improvised objects (sponges, rags and other materials), adding distinguishing texture to the details of her works. In addition to oil paint, in rare cases liquid gold leaf and acrylic were added to the technique.
“ProstoTa” ("Simplicity") collection reflects the concept of simple in complex and vice versa. The clear objects depicted in the center of the painting are just objects, and it is not new in modern art. However, this is not a tribute to trends. Behind the seemingly primary simplicity lies a whole philosophy and depth of thought and revelation of the artist’s inner world. Such a synthesis of on-trend form of presentation and depth of the idea fascinates and fills each work with a unique karmic force and associative philosophy. Sometimes the background of paintings carries only color and texture, and sometimes a message: for example, in the “Spain” painting the background is associated

About
with Gaudi’s mosaics, and in “New Zealand” it reflects nature specific to this country. By the way, Savva has visited more than 100 countries. Travelling is her main hobby which gives a lot of inspiration.
Every work is made in a single copy and has its own number located noticeably in the lower right corner, consisting of three digits each of which carries a sacred meaning. So, for example, starting from number 351 the paintings reflect socio-philosophical associations of the artist (“Dispute”, “Wealth”, “Boomerang”) and so on. The artist intentionally placed these numbers large on the front side of the paintings as an element of exclusivity, giving each work original chic and value. At the same time, due to large contrasting letters the author’s signature is quite clearly moved to the central lower part, which adds even more style and authenticity to each work. This is a kind of associative device inherent in modern fashion brands, when their name is noticeably present in external design of things.
