About the artist
Darya Kalugina was born in Alchevsk in 1998. Lives and works in Moscow. Graduated with a Bachelor’s degree from the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration (RANEPA) (2019) and a Master’s degree from HSE ART AND DESIGN SCHOOL in the Contemporary Painting program curated by Vladimir Dubosarsky and Oksana Simatova (2022).
