About me
I was born in Rostov-on-Don in 1972 and began my artistic career there as a graphic designer and illustrator after graduating from the State Academy of Architecture and Art.
From September 2010 to August 2025, I lived, studied, and worked in Paris, France. After settling in France, I turned to painting and continued my artistic training on a post graduate course "Aesthetics, Sciences, and Technologies of the Arts." In 2022, I defended my PhD thesis under the supervision of art historian Professor Pascal Bonafoux.
In May 2023, the editorial staff of the magazine "Santé mentale" selected me as its artist of the month. Issue 278 was illustrated with my drawings and paintings. My work is also featured in the illustrated book "The Heart of Drawing: Stories and Images from Around the World (Michael J Strauss, Megs Phelan Stones, Abrah Griggs, 2021, AREA 223, Williston, VT, USA, ISBN: 978-1-954342-04-0) and in exhibition catalogs.
My paintings and drawings found their way into private collections in France, Russia, Germany, the UK, the United States, and beyond.
