Born in Russia in 1966. Educated as an Architect, lived and worked in Moscow until 1996 when came to UK for permanent residence. Have been painting full-time since 1998. Specialize in oils on canvas. There had been a number of articles concerning my work in local and national press (The Herald, Evening Times, Home and Interiors, Uptown, Home Style, Living, Grand Designs, The 1, etc) and on channel 4' "Grand Design".Since 1998 have been continuosly exhibiting at established galleries across UK and at prestigious fundraising art shows such as Macmillans Cancer Relief, Age Concern, Marie Curie, Save the Children, The Order Of St.John Scotland, Children's First, Booby Birds Cancer Relief etc. Works sold at a number of auctions including The Hansel Foundation, Preshal Trust, University of Glasgow Cancer Relief and CHAS, etc.o I try see and to reflect quirky side of everyday events. My characters are not comical but sentimental and recognisable and it always make people smile. Some of my works might imply something very absurd and not entirely cheerful in their very idea, but I try to present the subject so it is ridiculous or slightly exaggerated, or both. Russians are guided by their emotions, not by common sense, and this has an effect on all my work (whether I am paying myself a compliment here, I am not sure..).
