I was born with a pencil in my hand and I’ve been drawing since childhood. I was born in Siberia and my mother sent me to Moscow where I could get proper art education. Despite my limited financial resources, I only had art in my head. I wanted to draw and soak up new experiences. I couldn’t refuse my dream because in this case I would have lost the meaning of my life. I made big sacrifices to succeed. I used to play professional volleyball, but I had to choose between sport and art. l decided on... the latter. An independent life thousands kilometers away from my native city tempered my character and aspiration, even if sometimes it seemed to be such unrealizable. Being a child, I was living alone in dormitory. I gave up smoking and drinking coffee. Now I lead a healthy lifestyle. A sound mind in a sound body! I love to catch and convey images, be the pioneer, invent something new. Perhaps some people think that everything has been already created and invented, by I am not among them. I am a person of high goals and I am open to this world. I strive for advancing in new areas despite my classical education.
