Cat and mice Painting

Art is that power which helps me keep dreaming and never give up. All my life, as I remember myself, I preferred drawing to all other activities. At first I studied at an art school, then at a lyceum at the Academy of Arts. In 2009, I graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts with a degree in architecture. The knowledge gained helped me broaden my horizons. As an architect, I was lucky to take part in the archaeological expeditions of the Hermitage on ancient and medieval monuments. I worked for several years in architectural studios, including as the main architect of the project. Although working as an architect brought me financial stability, I always knew for sure that I have always been, am and will be an artist. So, since 2013, I became a full-time artist. All the people in my environment tell me that I need to get a real job to guarantee a secure future. But I believe that you can succeed in any business, if this is really your passion.
