I started making art in 2011, and before that I studied at the Moscow Automotive Mechanical Institute MAMI (specializing in "transport design") and did an internship at the design studio Volkswagen near Berlin. Having immersed myself in the art atmosphere and street culture of this city, I clearly decided that I wanted to make art. A process free from external influence, in which only I dictate the terms and create the framework. Since then, I have embarked on a new path for myself - the path of experimentation and searching for something new.
The next stage was my return to Moscow and search for work that was as closely related to fine art as possible. So I became an illustrator-designer and over these 10 years I worked in such agencies as Milk, Leo Burnett, Grey, BBDO, VMLY&R Commerce. I also taught fashion sketching at the British School of Design for 5 years. At the same time, I began to self-educate in the field of painting and went a long way from redrawing everything I see to finding my own visual language, and also mastered various materials and techniques of work. At the current stage of creative development, I create works filled with symbolism, combining abstract and figurative painting, and also experiment with composition and texture. My paintings are characterized by an abundance of details that create a certain visual noise, involving the viewer in a long visual dialogue with the work.
