Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, I moved to Berkeley, California, at the age of five. That would be the first of three international migrations—Moscow, Berlin, and Tübingen were to follow in the next seven years, resulting in a very multicultural upbringing.
I invite you to connect with my themes and my subjects, and encourage you to form your own interpretations and engendering political discussions.

I employ a free and unrestricted painting technique that embraces imperfection. Specializing in contemporary figurative surrealism and portraiture. I aim to challenge social norms and stereotypes, exploring questions of identity, intimacy, and relationships.
