This is probably Thea's inner world. When Thea decides to take creative steps, we - the Moscow Ossetian community - are always ready to be there and help in her work."

“...Her paintings are distinguished by an individual artistic language, bright images, an exquisite and colorful sense of color, lightness and life-affirming fullness. National traditions, history, past and present of the Ossetian people run like a red thread in her work. And the author’s unique vision of female images in his work reflects a special view of the eternal philosophical themes of love and beauty...”
