In Italian Wikipedia, Lyudmila Radchenko is called the Russian model, Italian TV presenter and actress. Recently, however, she has increasingly made herself known as a well-known artist and designer. Model business is in the past, and now all of Lyudmila's interests are related to art.
Biography
Ludmila Vladimirovna Radchenko was born in 1978 in Omsk, in an ordinary family. She grew up in Siberia, where there is a long winter and often few bright colors, so from childhood she dreamed that she would once live in a warm country, where there is a lot of sun and lush nature.
In her youth, Lyudmila became interested in fashion, watched a lot of stylish magazines, picked up different images and styles for herself, so that they fit exactly hers. Therefore, one day she decided to try herself as a model. After some training, Lyudmila felt confident and began to take part in beauty contests.
In 1996, she managed to win the Omsk contest "Modern Image": she became the vice-miss of the podium. It was a rather prestigious beauty and fashion contest, at which she also won the audience’s prize.
It so happened that she soon went to the Miss Russia contest from the city of Omsk. Having received this experience, she realized that she wanted to stay in the capital and try her hand at television as a host. And soon she succeeded: she worked on TV channels not only in Moscow, but also in St. Petersburg. In addition, she continued to work with several modeling agencies.
Career model and TV presenter
In 2010, a sharp turn took place in Lyudmila’s fate: she moved to Italy for permanent residence and got a job as a TV presenter on Papperissima TV channel. We can say that the dream of youth came true.
In an interview, Lyudmila said that in Italy they still show a keen interest in Russian girls, and therefore can be invited to work on television, even if you speak Italian with an accent. So Lyudmila herself in 2003 took part in the show "Spicy Tg", which took place on Antenna 3.
Gradually, she became famous in Italy, she began to be invited to various shows, and she also starred as a model for glossy magazines, including for Fox magazine.
From year to year, Radchenko’s fame grew, and she was increasingly invited to various fashion and popular shows, including those that had the status of competitions, and she often took pride of place in them. On one of such shows, director Fabio Tagliavia saw her and invited her to a role in the television series "Evidence of Crime" (2005-
.) In the same year, Lyudmila received an invitation to take part in the filming of the full-length film "Journey" from the director Ettore Pasculli. Here she played the main role of the girl Era Fenis. In 2006, the actress took part in the filming of the series "Inspector Coliandro" (2006-) Two years later, she was invited to a new project - the film "Light of Passion" (2008).
On this career, the actress Radchenko decided to end, then that she had long been planning her own project related to painting. Her work was watched by several familiar artists and delivered a verdict: you need to draw and develop your talent in every possible way.
Lyudmila's several early works were selected for an exhibition in Milan, after which she realized that she wanted to seriously engage in painting. So she went to New York to study at the art school. There she mastered the technique of pop art and began to work in this manner.
Radchenko’s paintings very soon gained popularity and her paintings began to take in various galleries and exhibition halls in Milan.
In 2010, it was with her that a contract was signed for the image of a huge canvas: a giant cow drawing for the international exhibition "Cow Parade 2010". The former model’s popularity as an artist and designer gradually grew: she demonstrated her works at the Milan art triennial, she was helped to organize a personal exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in Lucca.
And then Radchenko managed to enter the international level: her work was shown at the Gemlucart exhibition in Monaco; in the New York gallery she was given a whole section called Ludmilla - there was a food festival, and artists exhibited their works related to this topic; in London Soho, her works were exhibited at the Crown Fine Art gallery.
And in December 2010, Skira published the first personal catalog of the artist under the name "Power Pop". Now Lyudmila has her own studio in Milan on Veranini street, where she invites everyone who wants to get to know her work more closely.
Radchenko does not focus on any one genre or direction in art - she listens to herself in everything and does what she is interested in. So, once she was offered to become a designer of the famous brand of children's clothing Monnalisa. Someone from the brand saw Radchenko's scarves and leggings at an international exhibition in Florence, and the idea was immediately born: to transfer these prints to children's clothes for sports and recreation. So the Capsule Collection Jakioo from Lyudmila Radchenko was created. She was a huge success!
