I was born inTula City, Russian Federation and now live in the United States. I studied Arts at Tula Art School and then Orel Art College, where I was awarded the Honors Diploma in Art & Design upon graduation. Later I received a Master’s degree in Visual Arts from Tula City University. I have 29+ years of experience studying the latest art designs and trends. I participated in multiple art exhibitions worldwide: Italy, the UK, France, Germany, Brazil, Spain, Mongolia, South Korea, Swede, Japan, and the USA. In addition, my works were seen at the Eiffel Tower, Gustave Eiffel Hall, and the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris. I am a winner of the Artavita 21st Online Art Contest with three works: “Fall in Love”, “All Dreams Come True” and “Spring is Coming”. Most sales of those paintings were made by prints on postcards, posters, and ceramics. I WAS EXHIBITED IN THE ARTAVITA PAVILION AT ARTEXPO NEW YORK. I was one of a few international artists who were chosen to exhibit their names and works on the 25-story-tall billboard above the American Eagle in the heart of Times Square, New York City. The exhibition, entitled “See Me Take Over Times Square,” was endorsed by See|Me Group, Inc. My work focuses on realism and expressionism. It features a range of techniques using oil, acrylic, watercolors, ink, and tempera paints. My favorite technique is multi-layering, where I use water and oil without brush strokes on paper or canvas.
