Eugenie Vronskaya

Eugenie Vronskaya (b. 1966, Moscow) is a Russian-born painter currently working between London and the Scottish Highlands. She trained in icon painting from childhood, then studied at the Krasnopresnenskaya School of Art and Moscow Fine Art University. In 1989 she moved to the UK, and in 1991 she became the first Russian student admitted to the MA programme at the Royal College of Art.

Her work spans figurative painting, abstraction and simplification, drawing on a deep spiritual and emotional connection with her surroundings — especially the landscapes, light and solitude of Scotland. Recurring motifs include horses, trees, solitary figures and objects, which she often uses to explore inner perception, memory and the metaphysical dimension.

Vronskaya’s paintings are held in private and public collections internationally, including Tate Britain, the Victoria & Albert Museum, the Pushkin Museum, and the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow. She has exhibited widely with solo and group shows, and teaches at the Heatherley School of Fine Art.
