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. I seek out look for new shapes and images within my themes using different materials, but my favorite is glass for its plas... [more]

"Breaking Bad" Art Installation 2013
Some things held sacred and in secret, simply box in with a hypnotic carnival of illusions defining life. With one drop of a mustard seed of truth and faith, the sacred and secret illusion breaks down. If you have the courage to allow the collapse, align with the mustard seed, and resist the urge to keep or rebuild your given box, then you are truly free. No more living in cubicles or pixels.

So ....the Glass is Half Full or Half Empty .....But
no matter the amount, who, these days, is asking "What's in it?"
In many a microcosm of work, worship, and play, turning the pure to poison and the poison to pure can be veiled in the redefining and rationalization of terms, costs, and benefits.
Bottoms Up

The qualities of a great artist, I suppose, are always up for discussion in the art world. For intellectuals, a great work might be one that elevates the mind or translates an idea. For those who covet the superficial, the captivation of the eye does the trick. Maybe an artist or academician would analyze the work for technical skill: the balance of the composition, manipulation of materials and process, and its maker’s use of color and line, before declaring it great. There are also th... [more]
My practice continuously develops from events in my life. I have been investigating conceptually the exploration and implication of existence, the sense of limbo – a void - between absence and presence. Therefore the subject of my paintings is stimulated by my life, my loss, emotions and memories.
The subconscious projects itself through gestural marks and painting techniques. I choose to paint because the medium allows me to interrogate my practice both contextually and aesthetically. I make ab... [more]

Banquet Party ( Artist's Statement)
It shines, most pleasant, most of the days
Sometimes it rains, pours down
Being in that place, where the Ghosts of the Past dance with the Present and Future
Like insects in the warm evening summer sun.
This place is warm, bright, colourful and happy -
Sad, angry and desperate as well.
Where the Extremes hold a Banquet
Some people live overregulated lives - far away from that place.
I am watching them, hate what these rules represent, but also with envy
