Born in Dnepropetrovsk (Ukraine), Oksana Bondareva is the soloist with the Mikhailovsky Theatre in

Her English was as bad as my Russian so we communicated through art.
This painting communicates something of these feelings. She asked me how I wanted her and I told her, “please don’t move, you are perfect!”
