TOVA (she/her) is a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Finance, artist, poet, singer, performer, and founder of TOVA Gallery. Born in Kazakhstan, she has lived in five countries (Kazakhstan, Russia, the UAE, Israel, and the UK) and is currently based in London.

She is an artist-mediator with a sharp sensory awareness and a rigorous conceptual vision. Her work translates scientific research, multicultural experience, the often unseen challenges of the twenty-first century, and human emotional states into unified, multidimensional visual forms. TOVA’s practice unfolds through two key authorial concepts: TOVA NUTS, which take the form of sculptural artworks, and TOVA WORLDS, immersive environments where visual art, text, sound, video, poetry, and other media come together as cohesive artistic systems.

​

TOVA’s visual language is shaped by more than a decade of applied research in financial markets, including market microstructure, trading strategies, financial modelling, forecasting, market surveillance, and machine learning in finance. Her academic background brings clarity, precision, and conceptual depth to her work. Each TOVA NUT emerges from an extensive process of hypothesis formation, analytical investigation, and model construction. Holding a TOVA NUT means holding knowledge in visual form.
