Country: Russia ·Born in 1972

I have been drawing since childhood. At first, I mainly depicted animals, then during adolescence I was drawn to fantasies and abstractions, and my entire room was covered with intricate pictures.
I began learning to draw "by the rules" only as an adult, at an art school. But the staged still lifes for study were dull, although I patiently executed all the teacher’s assignments on paper…
In 2007, I found a new, "lively" format – an art studio for adults led by an active teacher who was always "hungry" for creative ideas. Within the studio walls, one could choose both the materials and any theme for work, and, importantly, interact closely with interesting people passionate about their favorite hobby. There, I also attended master classes by renowned Russian artists: V. Kuks, A. Kosenkov, O. Sheludyakov, D. Oktyabr, and others. Together with like-minded people, I traveled to plein airs in other cities of Russia and Ukraine. 
In 2012, I joined the studio of the famous Novosibirsk artists L.G. and V.N. Virov, which I happily attended until 2020. Both of these wonderful masters, each in their own way, gave me a great deal not only in the technical aspect of the artist’s craft but also, often having opposing opinions on each work and philosophically approaching any idea, gave a powerful impetus to my creative development.
Currently, I work at home. I mainly paint with oil, sometimes acrylic, I love texture, and recently I started experimenting with gold leaf. I am constantly in creative search, painting both in a realistic manner—experimenting with textures, colors, and materials—and in an abstract style, recreating my own invented ideas and images on canvas. 
I have participated in various exhibitions in Novosibirsk and Tomsk. My works are in private collections in cities across Russia and neighboring countries.
I am inspired by beauty, which can sometimes be seen even in the most unexpected place or time, music, the works of other artists, sometimes children's drawings, as well as unexpected fantasies that arise in my mind.
