Venera Kazarova
Contemporary Artist, Costume & Performance Designer

Venera Kazarova is a multidisciplinary artist working at the intersection of visual and performative art. Trained as a costume designer, her creative journey began with exploring materials and forms, eventually expanding beyond traditional costume design to embrace costumes as a powerful medium of artistic expression.

Rather than creating practical outfits for everyday wear, Kazarova designs costumes that convey messages, emotions, and narratives. Her work transforms costumes into conceptual elements of performance art, blending psychology, storytelling, and aesthetics. To her, costumes are an artistic medium as evocative as music, poetry, or literature.

Kazarova draws inspiration from dreams and nature, crafting designs that reflect her inner world and external influences. By merging reality and fantasy, she develops a unique visual language that connects with audiences on an emotional level, bypassing the need for words.

A vital aspect of her practice is performance. Through movement and embodiment, her costumes come to life, creating an interdisciplinary visual theater that combines visual art, contemporary dance, and music. Together with performers, she blurs the boundaries between art and life, transforming costumes into extensions of the performer’s identity.

Kazarova’s goal as a contemporary artist is to transcend traditional artistic disciplines, creating immersive experiences where costumes serve as vessels of expression. She seeks to rehabilitate beauty in modern art, demonstrating that visual appeal and conceptual depth can work in harmony, each enhancing the other.

Through her work, Kazarova invites audiences to enter a realm where costumes become a profound means of communication, connecting us beyond words and offering new dimensions of artistic and emotional experience.
