Sooner or later in our lives, we ask ourselves: Who am I? What am I doing on this planet? And if we truly seek the answer, the whole world begins to open before us. Somewhere within it, we find ourselves – or, more precisely, we find the soul, the soul that was given this extraordinary gift: Life.

Nadia Tretikov

I am a writer and visual artist. My work grows from an intuitive connection with the world around me – through words, images, lines and light. Poetry allows me to give voice to what I feel; visual art allows me to make the unseen visible. I am drawn to moments of beauty and inner discovery. Through my work, I share the world as I see it.

I have lived in Canada for thirty years. My poems and short stories have been published in Toronto-area media since 2003. In 2009, I published the thriller The Running Elephants in Russian, followed by three English publications in 2024, 2015, and 2016.
