Goncharova Zlata
Goncharova Zlata was born in 1964. She lives and works in Odesa, Ukraine — CEO of Dürer Art School and lecturer at the Design Department of Odessa International Humanitarian University.
She graduated from M. B. Grekov Odessa State Art College (Decoration and Design, 1988) and from Ushinsky Odessa State University (Graphic Arts, 1997).
Zlata has held more than twenty solo exhibitions across Ukraine and Europe. Her works are part of private collections in Germany, France, Egypt, Israel, the UAE, and throughout the CIS countries.
