"To create is to be impressed."

The love of drawing started for me at about age 4, since then "Art" has been my life.
I grew up in Kaliningrad and have always been focused on my love of art and developing my artistic abilities. As a child I started drawing and coloring, and as a teenager I got acquainted with watercolor, gouache, tempera and dry materials. I always had the support of my parents, they stimulated me in my creative development. I attended private lessons with an artist and then entered an art school, thanks to the teachers, knowledge and skills increased every year. After school I entered a construction college and then a university to study architecture. In my free time I continued to draw and independently master new techniques and methods in drawing and painting. After graduation, I returned to Kaliningrad to become a fine art painter. I got acquainted with local artists, the founder of the studio - Boris Viktorovich Zhigalov taught me how to paint in oil. This moving texture amazed and mesmerized me, I fell in love with this type of painting. On plein airs (painting in the air) I began to look for colors and shades close to me by nature and mood. When I paint, I move into another dimension, it has a beneficial effect on the state of mind, gives calmness and peace. I want to share these positive emotions with the viewers, so that when I look at a painting I feel harmony inside.
I feel I have the ability to take an impression and turn it into an idea for a canvas. In this way I can capture emotions close to me in the material. I am grateful to God for the generous gift of bringing joy to people and showing the beauty of the world around me.
