I'm a contemporary artist from Russia, now based in Serbia. My main focus is acrylic on canvas, though I also explore oil, watercolor, clay, digital illustration, and animation.
My practice delves into themes of emotional transformation, revealing uncomfortable feelings and opening them to dialogue. Drawn to the interplay of color, I work wit vibrant, saturated tones, exploring the emotional resonance they create. Inspired by the depth and unspoken intensity of human emotion, I use abstract forms and bold contrasts to express the fragile space between thought and feeling.
My work has been shown in the UK, Germany, Serbia, and Russia, and is part of private collections in Russia, Serbia, the USA, Israel, and beyond.

Abstract
This series of paintings is created with oil on canvas. In working on it, I explored the interplay of shades, the vibration of color, and forms flowing into one another. Almost all of these works, along with some others, are now on display at a bar in my hometown.
Portrait
In creating these portraits, I sought to delve into human relationships, emotions, reflections, and the expressions of love and passion. I used acrylic on canvas.
Watercolour
These are some of my earliest works. At that time, I mainly worked with watercolor combined with liquid acrylic. I was interested in exploring various allegories, artistic metaphors, and conveying hidden emotions.
For a long time, I also worked on portraits of people, exploring facial features and the possibilities of watercolor. I was fascinated by human beauty and felt grateful to have met many people while creating commissioned portraits.
