Portrait of a violin player Katya Painting

I was born in 1952 in a small town of Kulyab of Tadjik Soviet Socialist Republic. I do not have any memories of it, as my childhood and youth city was Samarkand, the most ancient town and coeval of ancient Rome. I was particularly attracted by walking around the colorful bazaars. My Fine art studio peers were always accompanying me during these walks. In Fine art studio I was taught Impressionism, considered to be spectacular and valuable on the east and in Samarkand. My art teacher was one of the students of Benkov - Antonina Larina. In 1973 I graduated from State Institute of Architecture in Samarkand. In 1974-1983 I lived in Naberezhnye Chelny and worked as an architect. Nowadays I am a member of Union of Artists of the Russian Federation. I take part in exhibitions held in Volga river cities. I am also teaching fine art to the students of Kazan National Research Technological University. My confession is Christianity, that is why my personal motto is: "Everything I do is to the glory of God. Jesus Christ for me is a corner stone for me.
