I am inspired by life in all its manifestations — from a dewdrop on the grass to clouds dissolving on the horizon. My work draws on both the visible world and realities beyond immediate perception, where a simple detail can become the starting point for a new artwork.
Rooted in my Siberian birthplace and shaped by a classical art education in Russia, my practice reflects a deep connection with nature and a long-standing fascination with people. I work across painting, photography, video, and digital media, creating multilayered visual narratives that explore perception, presence, and transformation.
Method of working with a camera:
Alongside planned projects, I photograph daily, guided by a selective and attentive gaze drawn to overlooked details that spark new ideas. These moments often initiate long-term projects, developed over time through carefully curated images from different places and periods.
