Painting
In the small hall

Anna Gennadyevna Florenskaya was born to a family of painters in Leningrad in 1974. My parents Gennady Nikeev and Natalia Florenskaya are painters, my brother Sasha and his wife Olya are painters, too. Almost all of my parents friends are painters, and those who are not are very nice people anyway .
Anna went to art school on the Fontanka and studied in Elena Kosenkova s class, to whom she is very grateful for her openness to the world and getting to know some people, which still have not disappeared from Anna s life..
Anna left school after the 8th grade and started to water flowers in the conservatory of the Taurida garden. Then she swept the stage of the Leninsky Komsomol Theatre with a broom. But it all annoyed her very soon. She lived in Moscow and tried to learn how to restore icons in a studio on Ostozhenka street, but never learnt. I ve got a husband, Alexander Petrovich Voytsekhovsky, and he is also a painter. I always could see a whole life in his pictures, and not only what is simply depicted on them. We have got kids, they have already grown up. I finished secondary evening school three years ago, only because I suddenly wanted to enter a theatre institute. Of course, I failed to enter, but it was so nice there. A feeling of immense joy is left. Most of all I like to sew dolls and animals, and I see my future in them. I spend much time in the countryside. All in all, I think that my life is a success .
