I was born in 1972 in Saratov, Russia and I am a contemporary visual artist based in Stuttgart, Germany. My work is rooted in-fine art and contemporary painting, developed through many years of personal artistic practice.

I received a strong classical art education at the Saratov Art College, where I studied drawing, composition, and painting. From 1994 to 1999, I continued my studies at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart, which played an important role in shaping my artistic language.

Since 1994, I have been living and working in Stuttgart, focusing on a long-term artistic practice. My paintings explore form, color, and atmosphere, combining academic discipline with a contemporary and intuitive approach to fine art painting.
