About

I was born in a small town in the Southern Ural Mountains of Russia. From an early age, I was drawn to many forms of art, including sculpture, painting, dance, and music. At the age of 15, I graduated from the School of Art in my hometown, which became the foundation of my creative journey.

Inspired by both art and design, I went on to study architecture at Ural State Technical University in 2002. In 2009, in search of new opportunities and inspiration, I moved to Saint Petersburg — one of Russia’s major cultural and historical centers. There, I worked for several years as an architect specializing in civil engineering.

Later, I decided to fully embrace my passion for art and moved to San Francisco, California. I have also lived and worked in New York, and I am currently based in Los Angeles. Today, while working in the tech industry, I continue to create art and develop my artistic practice.

My work is inspired by artists such as Albrecht Dürer, Gustav Klimt, Alfons Mucha, Vincent van Gogh, and Claude Monet. I primarily work in two directions: oil painting and graphic art.
