"You never know which spot you will start painting, especially in a new place. At first everything seems ideal, but then you notice the details and start walking around choosing a better view. Sometimes you realise that you can make several studies at once from one perspective. Besides the nature might dresse up any landscape, and when you see it you feel at once that it's the very thing you can borrow from the nature. Impressed by the view you try to transfer this moment to paper, carton, canvas. Coming back home you take the study out and... you either feel dissapointed and annoyed or pleased and satisfied with the result."

- Was born in Saint-Petersburg and brought up in a n artistic family: my father is a theatre artist and my mother is an actress. My family had been moving a lot until 1987, when we eventually settled in Voronezh. In this city I finished school and graduated from Voronezh Art College and Voronezh State Pedagogical University. After graduating from the University I had been working as a graphic designer, a puppet mechanic and a sculptor in the puppet theatre “Shut” (jester) for 10 years. After leaving the theatre I changed several positions. Now I work as a teacher in “Nomos” college, the design department. In am also one of the creators and teachers of an art-studio “Matitsa”. I have taken part in 22 regional, interregional, All-Russia exibitions. I had been 6 solo-exibitions in Russia. From the 2020 I took part in 25 online-exibitions in France, USA, Canada, Italy, Swiss, Spain, Hungary and Chech Republic. Works belong to private collections in Russia, Germany and Spain. I have won the first prize in a competition for the design of a plaque devoted to a puppet theatre director V.A.Volkhovsky. The plaque is represented on the front of the theatre in Chelyabinsk. I currently work on paintings, mainly in portrait and landscape genres. I am engaged in sculpture and puppet creation for theatrical and circus plays. I am especially interested in the genre of portrait: a person’s face is like a reflection of their character, mood, personality and inner world. The main aim of the portrait is to show a leaving character, not simply to show the similarity. As for the inspiration for a landscape creation – it’s a beauty of nature and an old architecture. Generally speaking, absolutely simple things, which we observe every day not paying much attention to, might inspire an artist. I work in a realistic manner. Try not to be complacent: any success is only an impulse for further development and new aims achievement.
