I was born in St. Petersburg, Russia in 1986. My creative path began at the age of 11 with music, which opened the door to a world of rhythm, structure, and expression. Music later led me into video production, where sound and image merged into a new form of storytelling.
For many years, painting was something I carried quietly within myself, never certain if it was worth sharing. That changed in 2018, when I began painting more seriously, and the canvas became a place of freedom and discovery.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, everything shifted. Like many, I faced uncertainty and loss, but in that moment painting became more than an artistic pursuit—it became a necessity. My neighbors in Vietnam encouraged me, supported me, and helped me survive during that difficult time. Their kindness gave me the courage to share my work with the world.
That was the turning point. Painting, which I once kept private, became my way of communicating and giving back. What began as survival grew into purpose.
Living and working in Vietnam today, I continue to explore abstraction as a mirror of both chaos and beauty. My paintings are spontaneous and emotional, driven by instinct rather than rules. Each canvas is a conversation—between myself, the world around me, and those who encounter the work.
This story is still unfolding. Every painting is another chapter, another step forward in the journey that began long ago with sound and has now found its true voice in color.
