Alexandra Vertinskaya is a worthy bearer of a legendary surname. This is an incredibly beautiful and talented woman who managed to achieve recognition as an artist, interior and clothing designer, and even try herself as a TV presenter. Besides all this, Alexandra is a happy wife and mother. Is there really so much that one person can really do? We will get acquainted with the success story of the star and try to reveal this secret!
Vertinsky Dynasty
There are a lot of creative personalities in the Vertinsky family. This is not about a dynasty of actors or artists, but about a family, each of whose members has its own talents and successfully develops them. Alexandra's grandfather is a famous singer, poet, composer and film actor Alexander Vertinsky. His wife - Lydia Vertinskaya (maiden name Tsirgvava) - a talented artist and actress. Marianna Vertinskaya - Honored Artist of the RSFSR, actress of theater and cinema. All these titles have her own sister - Anastasia, the former wife of the famous director Nikita Mikhalkov. Alexandra, who was born into such a family, simply did not have a chance to be less gifted and talented than her immediate relatives. There is one interesting tradition in the family - all women cherish their famous name and do not change it when registering a marriage, but pass it on to their children. The exception is only Anastasia Vertinskaya, whose son, Stepan, bears no less than the star name of his father - Mikhalkov.
Alexandra Vertinskaya: a biography of young years
Alexandra was born with Moscow in 1969 in the family of the famous actress Marianna Vertinskaya and the architect Ilya Bylinkin. The girl showed a love of drawing from a very young age. She tried to use different materials, depicted on paper everything that she saw around herself and what she dreamed about, tried to copy pictures hanging on the walls. After graduation, the question of choosing a university did not even come up. Alexandra Vertinskaya entered the Surikov Moscow Art Institute. After graduating from this educational institution, the heroine of our history decides to continue her studies and goes for an internship at the National Academy of Arts (Paris). Marianna Vertinskaya always endorsed her daughter's creative aspirations. Least of all, she wanted Alexandra to follow in her footsteps due to the instability of the acting profession. During the internship, Sasha works as an interior designer, but after a while she still returns home to Moscow.
"Take it off immediately!"
In 2004, Aleksandra Vertinskaya tried herself as a TV presenter. Together with Tasha Stroga, she runs a program dedicated to fashion and style, “Take It Off Immediately!”. This is a show transformation, to which the most ordinary women from all over the country are invited. Each participant is waiting for a complete update of the wardrobe, and sometimes a cardinal change of image. The main idea of the project is to show Russian women that each of them can be beautiful and fashionable. The program was incredibly popular with the audience and aired for about three years. But then Alexandra wanted to devote herself entirely to family and creativity, and she left her TV career.
About the most personal: family and loved ones
Alexandra Vertinskaya is happy in marriage with Emelyan Zakharov. Her husband is a co-owner of the Moscow large gallery Triumph. Two daughters were born in the family - Vasilisa (1999) and Lydia (2010). Both girls carry the name of their mother. Alexandra admits that it was with this condition that she got married. Boys are rarely born in the Vertinsky family, but it is simply impossible to let such a famous family disappear. The eldest daughter goes to school and simultaneously receives an art education. She attended a course of lectures on art and attends the studio of a famous architect. Parents do not seek to impose a love of painting or other types of creativity, but they want to help the child develop comprehensively and reveal their talents. Although, at the same time, Alexandra and Emelian do not hide the fact that they will be happy if the children begin to draw. It is important for parents that this desire and aspiration come from within. That is how Alexandra Vertinsky herself came to the canvas. The personal life of this talented woman is unusually calm for a famous person. There is no place for violent scandals and vivid novels. After many years of marriage, the spouses still take an active part in each other's life, have common creative and commercial projects.
Creativity and business
Today Alexandra Vertinskaya lives and works in Moscow. She is engaged in parenting and painting, sometimes acting as an interior designer in private projects. Her husband is not only a co-owner of a large art gallery. In addition, the spouses have several other projects, including quite successful restaurants. And yet, the art business for this family is the most beloved and most significant. Alexandra and Emelyan believe that very soon in Russia the love of art will become more widespread, and people will visit galleries and exhibitions more often than entertainment and shopping centers. Today, the art business can hardly be called stable and profitable.
Love for Italy, and not only
Alexandra often talks about her love for Italy. A few years ago, she even began to consistently spend the summer season in this country. At first it was a rented house, but when the summer trip became a tradition not only for the artist with her children and husband, but also for all close relatives and friends, it was decided to purchase property in the property. The Vertinsky family summer accommodation is located in Tuscany, not far from the resort area of Forte dei Marmi. And now every year Alexander is relocated here for the entire warm season with his closest associates. She argues that the local climate has a positive effect on health and well-being, and the incredible beauty of local landscapes almost forces to draw. An interesting fact: Vertinskaya Alexandra Ilyinichna has more than once arranged exhibitions of her works dedicated specifically to Italy. At one time, she painted Venice so often that she even had to consciously abandon this topic. Today, the artist is trying to create a variety of works, she does not get tired of trying new subjects and techniques for their embodiment.
