Biography and information

I was born on May 31, 1999, in the city of Dzerzhinsk, Nizhny Novgorod region.
At 10, I moved to the city of Uren, Nizhny Novgorod region.
There were no creative personalities in my family, no one was interested in art, music or literature.
At 16, I decided to go to art school. What pushed me to this? I do not know. I just arrived, showed my work to the director of the Urensky art school and I was accepted without entrance examinations. At that time I did not set any definite goals for me; for me, classes in art school were like art therapy.
When I was 17 years old, I realized that my creative work is developing into something more than just a class I’m thin. school, I began to draw for myself, in the beginning it was just drawing the surrounding objects and flowers from grandmother's front garden. But even then I realized that I wanted to link my life with creativity, the restriction within the office, not for me. Urensky art school I have not finished.
After graduation, I moved back to Dzerzhinsk and decided to enter the Nizhny Novgorod University of Architecture and the Faculty of Design, the first time I did not pass. I decided to enter for the second time, retake the EGE for 80+ points, passed the introductory creative tests for the total score of 163 and did not pass again, I was second in the competitive lists for the budget, for 1 budget place (I went according to a special quota).
Spending time on admission, I did not draw pictures. But now this is a stage that has already been passed, and now I, on the contrary, am very glad that I have not acted. Design is not something that I would like to do all my life.
Now I have again entered the art school, but already in the city of Dzerzhinsk, I am already studying in the second class of the evening department (out of three).
I work in different directions, ranging from academic drawing to abstraction.
I also study in the “Dzerzhinsky College of Business and Technology” in the last year of Commerce by industry. I went there, just to have a secondary vocational education, of course I do not intend to work in this profession.
While preparing for the Unified State Exam, I read a lot of classical fiction, and it made me rethink my work as a whole, I’m not interested in drawing still lifes or drawing from life, with the help of this I just perfect my skills.
But the true work of art in my understanding is a picture in which some meaning is hidden, an emotion. Which can tell some story, affect the strings of the human soul.
