.artist/ . When I pick up a brush, as a person, I dissolve and disappear. I am Here with my body, but my Soul is far from this World. I forget everything - time, place, people and events around. There's just me, canvas and oil. Many hours pass and I am surprised to look back at the world outside the window, I begin to feel the materiality of my body and things around. Each time I take up my brushes and look at the empty, clean canvas, I feel awe and anticipation of a new flight to the Divine state of pure Being. Every day I thank God for the opportunity to create and do my favorite work. I was born in the best city on Earth - St. Petersburg (formerly Leningrad) in 1982. Graduated from a children's art school and wanted to grow up as an artist. My favorite teacher was sure that the Repin Academy of Arts was waiting for me. But as often happens, my parents were not happy with my choice. And quite a stiff form dissuaded me. I entered the best University of St. Petersburg and became an ethnographer historian. Regretting something is pointless, especially I really like ethnography. People and studying people is an important part of my life, my great love and part of my career. Then for more than 11 years I successfully worked as a graphic designer-freelancer. Now my dream is to bring people beauty, light, joy, harmony and warmth to their homes with their creativity. I devote a huge amount of time to each of my works. I invest a lot of love and energy. I am constantly learning, developing - this is very important for me, growing and improving as a professional and successful artist. Oil painting - I decided to devote my life, since having tried various types of creativity (from digital and vector painting to watercolor), I realized that oil is my greatest love. Now my paintings are in a private collection in London and St. Petersburg.
