The main accent of my art is not a real world, but a perceived world at the level of emotion, a view BEYOND reality. Mixing drawing techniques and styles of abstraction and realism, with the use of different materials like structural paste, acrylic, wax, gouache, pastel, brush painting, palette knife,drawing and even using my fingers, I am currently focused on celebrating the beauty and symbolism of flowers and trees in particular. In this way, I strive to create in each of our imaginations an inspiring, individual world that everyone sees in different ways.

"A true artist will reveal a vision beyond this world. If you just want to see reality, get yourself a camera!"

I was born in Russia in the historic heart of the Moscow art scene, on Arbat Street. Being very artistic in many ways and living on Arbat street, surrounded by artists and musicians and growing up with their children, I was deeply influenced by this very unique environment. My father was a nationally-renowned writer and translator, and my mother was a graphic artist, a famous illustrator of children's books and magazines. She was also a well-known batik artist, and this fact played a significant role in my life.

Since childhood My passion for music and art was driving me to get both aducation. I graduated a music and art college, Pedagogical University Art institute – Art Graphic faculty and Musician Gnesin`s Academy

I’m a left-handed artist and musician, which has always given me a unique perspective and approach to my art. I often feel I am capturing music on canvas.

Presently I work in the style of surrealism, with a mixture of abstraction and realism. This is a reflection of how I see the world, and it providesan opportunity to represent life in a way that cannot be captured in photographs
