I was born In Leningrad, Russia into an artistic family, where my father, a painter and sculptor, became my first teacher and inspiration. Graduating from the Academy of fine arts in Saint Petersburg with a diploma in Architecture - Artist, I spent a year working as an illustrator and a landscape architect. Eventually, my passion for travel led me to explore new places and cultures, making it my preferred way of life. Settling in the Netherlands for a few years and then in Italy, I embraced various opportunities to sustain myself through my art, experimenting with different genres. Italy, over time, became a second home. Currently I live and work in Switzerland.

In Italy I encountered M.Egetmeyer, a German psychologist and publisher. For the past 25 years I've been collaborating with him and his team, creating healing playing cards, known as OH- cards, which have achieved international success. Some decks have been personally painted by me.

One of my greatest resources is nature. In my art I show its power and beauty. Another captivating theme for me is Carnevale. Attending German and Swiss carnivals annually, I plunge into the vibe of national customs and costumes. Festivities inject a spring of improvisation and irrational behavior into our rational life, connecting us deeply with our roots.

I find joy in painting people celebrating life, aiming at transmitting the beauty and joy of life through my art.
