Biography and information

Self-taught artist, I have been painting for 8 years. The main theme of my works - fairy tales, childhood, angels. I am inspired by Russian folklore, culture and the nature of my native country.

I believe that inspiration is the ability to catch the subtle nuance that gets to the heart. It's like grabbing a thin thread with your fingers, pulling it gently so as not to tear it, and unraveling a huge ball of thoughts, feelings, and experiences. You embroider your worldview, tune up your radar, and catch similar souls with your signal.

Art for me is a huge part of life, without which I can't imagine myself. Our fairy tales, folk wisdom, customs, and holidays... i let the warm, sunny, tart, thick as honey feeling of belonging to our roots come through me. This is how my paintings are born.
