An independent, strong, and brilliant individual, Seraphina Aurelia Bogomolova-Huotelin is a product of the Cold War clandestine love affair across borders and ideological divides whose natural rich symbolic thinking paired with her ability to maintain authentic selfhood developed into a particularly sophisticated form of resilience. She is a rare person who could not only survive challenging circumstances but could find deep meaning in them, transforming potential sources of trauma into opportunities for self-understanding and growth.
Seraphina successfully incorporates two worlds - Russia, the country where she was born and spent the first 23 years of her life, and the Western world where for several decades she's been travelling, living and working in London, New York, Dubai, Geneva, Berlin.
Due to her parents’ origins, her own birth circumstances, and her ancestry, Seraphina has a truly international outlook, moving with ease between cultures, countries, and creative mediums.
