Born and raised in St. Petersburg, Russia, I grew up assisting my mother, a renowned cityscape impressionistic painter, in her studio. This early exposure to art sparked my inclination towards graphic art and fostered my connection with the art world. I earned a BA in graphic arts and a PhD in communication studies, and have spent my life creating visual stories for brands and personalities. Although predominantly focused on graphic arts, I continued painting and curated several art shows in Russia and the USA. Fine art remains an essential source of inspiration and a platform for creative experimentation. My curiosity led me to early Christian art, specifically icons and frescoes with gilding elements. I use watercolors, stucco, and gesso mixtures to replicate the matte effect of frescoes, and finish my work with gold leaf, imbuing each painting with a glowing halo effect as it reflects off the walls.
**My work style is best described as temporal
psychoexpressionism, I capture the remnants of the fleeting feelings one has in evocative places.** I live close to New York City, and my most recent work is inspired by its vibes. I explore and record the intersections of tradition and innovation by applying traditional mediums to modern abstract visual concepts. My art merges past, present, and future in one moment in an attempt to capture the feeling of absolute timelessness. I find that megalopolises such as New York invert, twist, grind and mix eras of time together like layers of paint to produce unexpected results. Ultimately my art aims to encourage the viewer to experience every moment of their life with full awareness, as everything surrounding us is only temporary.
