I was born in St.-Petersburg in Russia. Initially I`m a self-taught artist. I adore drawing all life - since the early childhood  until today. First of all it is a merit of my dear parents and  teachers which have inspired me love to art and in particular to drawing.  My father - the great amateur of books - has created at home the enormous library full of the various and very interesting books.  It were the books devoted the Russian and world history, it were fiction, works of known politicians.... but among this variety I loved most of all  the literature devoted to art - to drawing, theatre, cinema, ballet ... So besides "teachers-people" I had and I have also "teachers-books".   

Today I am especially interested in graphic art. It seems to me complex and easy simultaneously. It is very interesting to search and to find a border between white and black... But in a reality sometimes I  use besides black and white also other colors.... Why?  To underline contrast and at the same time to reconcile these two antipodes.

For me, also as for any other artist, very important to not stop, to continue to develop and be improved.... Otherwise there will come death for creativity.
