A graduate of the renowned Saratov Art School (A.P. Bogolyubov), I am a professionally trained artist specializing in academic classical realism. My career spans over four decades, during which I served as an artist for the Art Fund of the USSR and as a lead illustrator for major publishing houses such as AST, Detiskaya Literatura, and Malysh. Since 2005, I have lived and worked in Greece, collaborating with leading publishers (Smyrniotakis, Sideris) and illustrating official national textbooks on Greek Mythology and Byzantine History. I am a member of the Chamber of Fine Arts of Greece (EETE) and the Moscow Chamber of Artists. My work has been exhibited internationally (USA, Finland, Poland) and recognized with prestigious awards, including the Parnassos Literary Society prize. My current oil paintings represent a synthesis of classical academic mastery and modern philosophical exploration, bridging the gap between ancient myths and the contemporary soul.
