I started drawing and painting before I could speak. It has been my passion, and a means of communication for as long as I can remember. Seeing my creative inclination, my parents decided to hire a University Tutor for me at the age of 6, who trained me in Classical Drawing and Painting. I tend to keep my horizons open creatively and create in different mediums, from Digital Graphic Design to Architectural and Freehand Painting.

Originally I am from Russia, and have travelled all over the world since I was 8- growing up overseas has given me an opportunity to grow in and learn different cultures. I am fascinated with costumes, patterns, visual references and customs of different cultures. I find them highly inspiring and portray this through my painting. I have concentrated on Eastern European, Mexican and African stylistic features and translated them into my own visual language through my paintings.
