Lidia Alexandrovna Kozmina (b. 1966) From the Trace of the Sea Series. Tigrovaya Hill. 2026 - Paper, coloured ink and pen. 59 × 42 cm. Lidia Alexandrovna Kozmina (born 1966) is a Russian painter and graphic artist, and a member of the Union of Artists of Russia. She graduated from the Vladivostok Art College and later from the Far Eastern Pedagogical Institute of Arts, where she studied painting under Professor Viktor N. Doronin. Kozmina is also a participant in the international women artists’ association Flowers of the World, which brings together artists from Russia, Japan, China, the Republic of Korea, and Australia. An active participant in regional, national, and international exhibitions, Kozmina has established herself as a distinctive voice in contemporary Far Eastern art. Her works are held in the collections of state museums and private collections in Russia and abroad. Art critic Alexander Lobychev observed that “Lidia Kozmina’s work reveals recurring motifs, images, and symbols preserved within the treasury of world art. This is particularly evident in her engagement with medieval manuscript illumination and the Russian folk lubok tradition. At the same time, the precision of line, graphic expressiveness, and atmosphere of decadence in her work derive from the Art Nouveau movements of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.” In both her graphic art and painting, Kozmina creates a unique synthesis of Eastern and Western artistic traditions. Her works are distinguished by their decorative refinement, symbolic depth, and intricate visual language, in which historical references are transformed into contemporary poetic imagery. The series Trace of the Sea reflects the artist’s enduring interest in landscape, memory, and cultural symbolism. Through a delicate interplay of line, colour, and rhythm, Kozmina transforms familiar locations into evocative visual narratives that resonate beyond their geographical origins.
