Up ver. 1 - Limited Edition of 1 Photograph

I was born in 1991, in Dzerzhinsk, Nizhny Novgorod region. I started my way as an artist at about five years old, like many children at this age, diligently trying to sketch my favorite characters from cartoons or children's books. Of course, everything turned out very crooked, but I was persistent in my actions. My dream was to learn how to paint professionally. Unfortunately, my art education did not work out for me. I entered an art school at the age of 10 and left there a year later, because the load was so high that my vision began to deteriorate sharply. Despite the fact that graphic works drawn in various genres had a great influence on my drawing style, realistic execution has always seemed to me the most difficult to achieve. Then I wanted to make painting a tool that helps to capture something beautiful the way I see it. Over time, as I began to get better, I already wanted to have more meaning and depth in my work. Then I began to return to stylization. I am a person of mood, so I cannot draw the same works for a long time or adhere to any one direction in the visual arts. I also like to use different techniques when creating my works. From an early age, in addition to drawing, I was fond of other types of art. I burned on wood, created toys, studied at a music school, and also wrote poetry. All of this helped me develop patience and imagination. So anything from a beautiful sunset to some intricate trinket can inspire me. In addition, I really love to explore the cultures of different peoples. This also enriches my work and helps, for example, create unusual portraits.
