Hello frends! I am an artist. My roots take place in St.Petersburg, which has great architecture, culture and history that influenced me once and forever. Today, in the times of technical progress, mass production and new artificial materials I search for inspiration in the foundation of the Arts - old Russian Orthodox icons, Renaissance and folk cultures.

There are also th... [more]

Banquet Party ( Artist's Statement)
It shines, most pleasant, most of the days Sometimes it rains, pours downBeing in that place, where the Ghosts of the Past dance with the Present and FutureLike insects in the warm evening summer sun.This place is warm, bright, colourful and happy -Sad, angry and desperate as well.
