Artist-designer Selina Narov presents truly unique combination of art and fashion. Using her original technique to paint on pure white silk, she creates fabrics inspired by nature. The purity and transparency of the air, the depth of the sky and the chaos of the ocean----the coexistence of all these ideas is what she strive to communicate through her work.

Throughout the last decade, Selina has developed new original technique of painting on fabric that she calls Lynx-Stone, a unique process that combines monotype printing with painting to produce unusual, striking colors and patterns. She brought her fine art background, experience in the 3D design and expertise in textiles to the world of fashion. Ms. Narov has created signature pieces of art couture clothing in numerous collections using her own unique painted fabric.

Selina received her Masters Degree in Applied Art from the Stroganoff College of Fine Arts and Design in Moscow, Russia. Ms. Narov achieved recognition working as a successful exhibit and interior designer for the National Foundation of Art and Design. She was a member of the Moscow Artist Guild and participated in the renowned Senesh Experimental Design Studio. Selina’s work has been included extensively at national and regional exhibitions in Russia.

Once in the United States, Selina Narov established her studio at the Boston Center for the Arts, where she has worked as a painter and textile designer. She is a member of New England Artist Trust and a recipient of several grants from Massachusetts Cultural Council. Her work has been exhibited in individual and group shows in New England and nationwide.
