St. Petersburg based artist. My works are inspired by music, fantasy and nature. I love to depict mythological creatures because they are not only personages of old stories for me, they are symbols of human souls and that's why they are eternal. I am also a huge fan of life drawing, it's a ground for my fantasy and decorative works. And I love to make patterns, it’s a kind of meditation for me. I work with traditional media mostly, soft pastels, acrylic painting and wool painting are my favorite techniques. b. 1975 Education 1992 1999 Far Eastern State University of Humanities, Khabarovsk, Russian Federation, Master degree as a teacher of Fine arts and Decorative arts.
