The Essence
Atelier Privé is a cultural and lifestyle magazine founded and led by Arina Ponomareva — a creative strategist, aesthete, and curator of refined experiences, dedicated to the art of thoughtful living.
Heritage
Centuries ago, Arina’s ancestors served the Imperial family, supplying horses for the royal stables — a craft defined by precision, loyalty, and grace. Those who mastered it were not merely tradesmen; they were guardians of excellence, entrusted with the rhythm and dignity of an empire.
Generations later, that same spirit — intellect, discipline, and devotion to mastery — continues to echo in Atelier Privé. What began as a story of craftsmanship has evolved into a philosophy of refinement — where beauty meets thought, and heritage finds its voice in modern culture.
Legacy of Intellect
Arina’s lineage endured revolutions, wars, and transformations, preserving what truly mattered: intellect, integrity, and inner dignity. Her grandfather, a distinguished scientist and director of an experimental research station, embodied the family’s devotion to knowledge and innovation.
From this heritage, Arina inherited a love for beauty, horses, and meaningful aesthetics — and a belief that refinement is not visual, but intellectual.
A New Cultural Home
In 2022, Arina moved to Dubai — a city where history and futurism coexist, where silence and light meet innovation and ambition. Here, she discovered a culture rooted in vision, tradition, and spiritual depth — a new home for her philosophy of conscious luxury.
For Atelier Privé, the Middle East is more than a location; it is a dialogue between legacy and vision. Here, luxury is not excess — it is consciousness, refinement, and an understanding of one’s roots.
Our Audience
Atelier Privé speaks to Ultra High Net Worth Individuals — those who live deliberately, think profoundly, and appreciate the intellectual side of every experience. They collect art, explore the world, and find joy in mastery. For them, wealth is not a goal — it is the freedom to live beautifully and meaningfully.
Our Team
The Atelier Privé team was assembled with exceptional care — each member chosen for their intellect, sensibility, and depth of vision. Our circle brings together individuals from diverse disciplines — art, science, business, and culture — united by a shared pursuit of excellence and beauty.
This is not a conventional team; it is a fellowship of thinkers, editors, and creators who understand the nuances of refinement and the value of ideas. Together, we shape conversations that matter — about heritage, innovation, and the art of living with purpose.
The Philosophy
Atelier Privé celebrates this way of being — the pursuit of meaning through beauty and intellect. It is not merely a magazine, but a bridge between cultures, a reflection of timeless refinement, and a voice for those who dream beyond borders.
