S06E02: Lera Nyukalova: Driven to Create
There was little doubt that Lera Nyukalova would be an
artist. Her first foray into art was sketching Sailor Moon but
her passion and drive to learn and challenge herself led her
first to university to study architecture and eventually to make
the move from Kazakhstan to Vancouver to further her
practice.
Lera found solace and inspiration in the dynamic urban
landscape of the city, keeping a visual diary that would
eventually become "Visual Diaries," a collection of paintings
that span a decade of personal memories, emotions, and the
ever-evolving beauty of Vancouver.
In our conversation with Lera, she shares her tale of growth,
harnessing both familial encouragement and the sprawling
resources of internet forums to refine her craft amidst the
biting critiques that shaped her resilient spirit. She also
shares insights into the blending of job-honed techniques with
bold forays into 3D modelling, all while maintaining the
integrity of her vision against the relentless tick of the
clock.
