Born in Oryol in 1967 in Russia. Being an artist has been a dream since childhood. At the age of 10, I went to an art school, and then continued my education at an art college, and then at the Faculty of Applied Arts of the Textile Academy. Good academic training and at the same time a decorative and applied bias in higher education. As an artist, it laid a very good foundation.Despite the fact that I worked as an interior designer for many years, the dream of devoting myself only to painting did not leave. And this has happened since 2005. It was a step of faith towards a dream. And the more I worked and delved into painting, the more she realized that this is my path. "Painting is my passion, my method of understanding the world, my self-expression, my air that I breathe." For me , it is important that the works resonate with the audience,and she is happy that hundreds of her works have been bought by collectors around the world and are successfully sold on the world's largest auctions, such as Christie's . My art is primarily addressed to feelings and emotions. When I start a new series or a new painting, I myself expect magic. I am always interested in where this path that I have embarked on will lead. For me , the atmosphere, immersion and aftertaste are much more important than the narrative plot. The artist always tries to dive deeper into the image, for me it is important to convey emotions first of all, which will lead the viewer to think. I consider experimentation and the search for new artistic forms to be a very important aspect of creativity.The artist experiments a lot with different media and various techniques, which I often come up with myself. I am a participant in dozens of different exhibitions and international projects. My paintings have repeatedly won international art competitions.
