“Over the past 10 years, my creative life has gone through many transformations”
Since childhood, I’ve been shaped by the imagery of Dalí, Bosch, and Miyazaki, as well as by the absurdity and plasticity of Soviet animation — The Blue Puppy and Bardin’s Little Red Riding Hood. This visual absurdity and play with stereotypes still nourish my intuition.
I’ve been in art for over fifteen years, and for the past three, I’ve been building a visual language around a pair of colors — red and blue. For me, this isn’t just a palette but a coordinate system inspired by Freud’s psychoanalysis — by how the subconscious, desire, and memory shape inner worlds.

my art journey
“EVERY PART OF MY WORK IS A PART OF MY SOUL, STORY, AND EXPERIENCE”
Philosophy
I work with unconventional materials — filler, sand, cement, clay, pigments, stones. I mix everything by hand — it’s my form of alchemy, where forgotten elements are given new flesh.
It’s important for me to work sustainably and mindfully, to see beauty in the material itself — in how it captures light, responds to movement, and enters into dialogue with space.
My practice is intuitive, physical, alive, and a bit feral. Through art, I reclaim a sense of control and wholeness, exploring the boundary between need and dependency, fragility and strength.

I’ve become increasingly attentive to people’s inner states — to the nuances of feelings, their transitions, and shades. Each work is born at the intersection of gesture, matter, and mood. I am drawn to physicality, memory, natural rhythms, and sensual sensitivity. Waves, cracks, and porous textures become elements of my language.
Intuition, for me, is the ability to listen to space and move in its rhythm.

After a period of creative exploration, moving between three continents and five countries, I found (I guess?) my way in art. Today I create sensual paintings that reflect my diverse life experiences and emotional world.
my art today
“Each of my works is a dialog with the viewer, an invitation to share my view of the world”

I believe that art is not only about visual aesthetics, but also about feelings, emotions and the ability to touch the souls of others
