Commonly known as Luba, she was born in Moldova, Kishinev, and immigrated to Israel in 1991. She's been painting throughout her adult life and graduated from Art College, named after Schusev. From 2002 until 2007 studied art in the "Portrait" studio guided by great painter and educator – Abraham Bykov, a follower of Russian Art School traditions. Although she enjoys different genres of painting, from realistic to abstract, Luba is primarily a portrait and landscapes painter.
Luba describes her fascination with painting as a result of a fascination with life: "I love the people I paint and depict. I communicate with the sitters, and in the process of drawing, I see their personality and understand more and more who it is that I am painting. Of course, there is much psychology in this process… but I'd like to think the enjoyment is mutual. In addition to portraits, I like to paint still life, landscapes, and graphic works. I just see the beauty of this world, and it inspires me."
