Alexandra Otieva was born in Saratov in Russia. She has always been painting and practicing her artistic sense through her travels.

In parallel her studies in international economics at the University of Saratov, she studies arts with other artists already known in the states associative studios.
During this period of growth and artistic synergy which lasted ten years, she exposed her aquarelles in diverse galleries in Russia and in France.
Wishing to fully live her passion for aquarelle, she moves to frace in 2004 to focus entirely on her craft and learn from new influences.

She settles on the French Riviera between sea and mountains, where she continues to create and expose her work. Her field of predilection: lights effects associated with the change in seasons and the representation of floral fireworks.

For her, aquarelle is a story of shared feelings.
