Zoya Ivnitskaya is a well-known Russian artist and
Theatrical Costume Designer. After graduating from Odessa Art Institute
(Ukraine), she began to work as an Artist and art teacher at the Odessa
Art College. Her paintings were shown in state museums of Fine Art in
Odessa, Kiev, and Moscow.
Later on, Zoya started her career as a Chief Costume Designer at the Theater of Musical Comedy in Odessa and held this position for twenty five years. During this time, Zoya was invited to work as a Costume Designer with many theaters in Russia, Germany, Czech Republic, and Hungary. She made more than 70 productions. After the first production of "Fiddler on the Roof" at the Odessa Theater of Musical Comedy in 1987 (which was performed later in Germany and many other countries), Zoya turned to Jewish themes, and painted 26 canvases about Jewish life in Russia at the beginning of the century and during the World War II. These paintings were shown in West Berlin (Germany), Yokohama (Japan), and in Russia at the Worldwide Rabbinical Conference in 1992.
Many of Zoya's paintings are in private collections in USA, Israel, France, Germany, and Belgium. Some of them are included in the permanent collections of the State Museums in Russia and Ukraine. Zoya's name is in the Bibliographical Dictionary of Russian Art. Since 1992, Zoya Ivnitskaya lives in Los Angeles, continues her work, and wishes to share her art knowledge and experience with the American public.
