Concept

Hi there!

I am a Russian artist now settled in Moscow.

Sometimes I wonder what the reasons are that lead me to dedicate my life to painting and I always arrive at the same conclusion. I do it because I need it. Painting has become a tool that lets me explain emotions that make me who I am. Using my own script I try to make a connection with the spectator. This is something that I always strive to achieve.

I started painting in my youth and then revisited my passion again three years ago. My passion led me to a new career in art. My artwork has been purchased by clients in Russia, Australia, USA, and has led to commissions. I have exhibited my work in several independent and collective exhibitions.

In my paintings, I want to turn the depiction of a human being as a surveyed object into something that is more powerful and create a foundation where feelings and emotions can be established. Male or female, my hope is that you see a piece of yourself reflected back to you in each image.

I constantly collect elements from artists that dominated movements like Pop art, Surrealism, Modern, Formalism, and Expressionism and I'm trying to transform them into works of the present. That's why I use different styles of painting; it depends on the subject I want to paint, and what kind of emotions I want to show. I usually work with oil paint. I favor large artworks.I always use fine art materials for paint, canvas, brushes, etcetera, to ensure the best quality. I enjoy experimenting and applying my artistic skills in new ways.
