Biography
Was born in the 2th of May, 1988 in Irkutsk, large city in Eastern Siberia. I have an artistic and psychological education and graduated from Irkutsk Regional Art College from 2002 to 2006. Specialty painting.

Right after college I move from Irkutsk to St. Petersburg for a higher education. Here, I got the degree of a specialist in East European Psychoanalytic Institute. My specialty is a clinical psychologist, a teacher of psychology. At the same time, I studied the basics of photography and video editing at the St. Petersburg Institute of Film and Television.

Throughout my professional work, I constantly try to improve my skills and create my own techniques. At the moment I'm professionally engaged in painting and photography. Try to involve audience in my visual coordinates not only in paintings, but through different ways, including video materials and audio.

For me, it is important to create for a viewer a certain personal space that will complement his own emotional state. My paintings invite a person to remember something, recollect themselves and retire with their thoughts and feelings. The main area of my work are painting graphics and photography. I work in mixed technique and use different materials. My favorite genres are minimalism, abstract art, abstract expressionism, impressionism
