I was born in Kazakhstan and studied in Moscow before I moved to picturesque Switzerland, where I live today and work in a company. But my true passion that accompanies me every day is painting. My artistic journey already started in the art school, which I attended in parallel to primary school. There I not only learned painting, but also the sculpture and art history, which shaped my view of art and my own creativity. With fine brushes and oil paints I catch the beauty of nature in realistic pictures. The plant that I explore when traveling and hiking inspires me. I often hold my memories of these impressive landscapes and let the colors come to life. In my works I often play with different shades of green, light and shadow to present the variety of wild space that I admire. For me, art is not only an expression of my creativity, but also a way to interpret and share the world around me.
