Sunset in Istanbul Painting

As an artist born and raised in St. Petersburg, Russia, my passion for painting and art has been a lifelong journey. I began my artistic pursuits by attending art school in my hometown and later worked in museums as a tour guide for over three years, gaining a deep appreciation for the art of the past. In 2019, I decided to pursue my own artistic path, focusing on painting landscapes and cityscapes in a photorealistic style. Through my work, I aim to capture the beauty and essence of the world around me, paying close attention to the intricate details that often go unnoticed. Since then, I have had the honor of participating in numerous exhibits throughout the United States, showcasing my talent and passion for art to a wider audience. My paintings have been praised for their realism and depth, evoking a sense of wonder and awe in those who view them. For me, art is not just a hobby or a career; it is a way of life. Through my work, I strive to inspire others to see the beauty in the world around them and to appreciate the intricate details that make life so rich and fulfilling.
