I am a painter with an international background, born in Russia and settled in Finland. Today I live in Lahti and work on a project basis in my own art studio home and summer residence in small village Heinola, Finland. My work is often serial, i.e. I have painted several works dealing with the same topic at a time, such as e.g. landscapes, PeopleSoft in his daily life, different other themes, such as women's beauty and equality, forest, animals, etc.
Fine art, crafts and industrial design are always present in my life in one way or another. During my primary school years, I studied at the Vyborg art school and over the years I have taken several lessons on various drawing techniques and different painting styles, both from Finnish and Russian artists. My source of inspiration is usually the rugged Nordic nature, animals, the change of different seasons, people and human relationships, and family life.
Painting techniques: I mainly use oil and acrylic colors on canvas. With my art, I aim to promote people's social well-being and give positive life force and energy to every day of life. I use a lot of sunny and strong clean tones in my work. In a way, I am a humble ambassador of the sun and light, because the sun does not often visit our regions.
My moldings are on display in my own gallery in Heinola and in several homes in Finland, the Nordic countries and Russia.
