Was born on the 09th of October 1976 in Moscow. Took my first lessons of drawing when I copied illustrations from a big collection of my father who collected ex-librises and book graphics. From my childhood I became keen on drawing and took my lessons in the restoration of workshops at Nykolo-Perervensky monastery. I graduated from Literary institute named after Gorky the seminar of Moscow poet Evgeniy Rehn, prolonging my studies in drawing. I was a student at Moscow Art school named after 1905 years. I was a post-graduate student in the Russian Academy of Science. Simultaneously I was working as a fashion reviewer in a business fashion magazine. Now I''m a free artist. I paint in oil, acrylic, water-colours and china ink. I participated in the youth and arts exhibitions in Russia and abroad (in Moscow, St.-Petersburg, Kitshera (Siberia), Severobaykalsk, Norilsk, Pezenas, Berlin, Loueran-Kabrielle, Melbourn). Since 1996 until the present time I have been illustrating books, have been working in different genres using various technical devices. I can make pictures to order. My favorites genres are abstract composition, portrait, landscape, landscape with staffage, a portrait in image.
