He graduated from the Moscow Secondary Art School, and then

1991 - in co-authorship with S. Schipkov painting in the hospital № 1 in Moscow.
Painting, graphics and monumental works were exhibited at Moscow and All-Union exhibitions.

Since 1993, I have been working solely and exclusively on porcelain.
Several small collections of small plastics and sets are made in traditional techniques: blue (cobalt) porcelain and decorative slotted gilding.
But the main collections are in the technique of underglaze color painting and porcelain sponge cake. Initially, their theme was the life of Russian cities and villages with their special way of life, almost unchanged for hundreds of years, but fading now in front of our generation. Rural landscapes with barns and fences, now in the grass, then under the snow ..., waders, ponds, churches, gardens, cattle, birds ... and residents. The technique of porcelain surprisingly organically suited for this. In the process there was a special technique of writing and style, a palette of own paints was formed, hundreds of models and forms appeared - house-caskets, church-vessels, figurines of inhabitants, microscopic trifle. The smoothed relief of the models allowed the same form to be painted with new plots, wrapping it in layers of an illusory space full of events. Separate objects gathered in groups - interiors, streets, cities, roads, landscapes.

All previously made is divided into 3 large collections that continue to grow:
“Dom.Semya” (and the “Street” group) with large figures of inhabitants, furniture and architectural details of interior themes;
"City. Winter" (with a group of "Factory") with small residents and houses of the winter city;
"Manor. Summer" - approximately the same, but about the summer village.

A new theme of my work - the memory of the Soviet childhood and adolescence, the 60th, 70th, 80th. These are two collections about the life of a large Soviet city: "TsPKiO.60-e", and the other, just beginning - "Y-Prospect" about Moscow 70-80-s. Here is a different style, but in the old technique of underglaze multicolor painting.
And then work begins with the finished objects of the collections in the windows of the exhibition hall or on the table of the photo studio. Now I try to do more video shooting from the inside of the compositions.
