Born in Crimea in 1967. Lived there for 20 years.

When I was a child my mother worked very hard and had to leave me home alone for a long time.

When she came back she usually found me at the same place with my "nannies" (pencils and paper).

At school, at primary school I attended an extra art class.

After the service at the army I found a job of an artist at the local House of Culture.

My workshop was next to the studio of professional artist Vladimir Ryabokon.

Seeing my potential, he shared his experience with me and became my best teacher.

Among my first paintings were copies of Aivazovskiy, also I painted frescos at private cottages.

Some paintings are in private collections in Italy and U.S.

Currently I work as a freelance artist in Kiev.
