My practice grows out of first-hand research into the urban environment while travelling.

I look for and document the visual code particular to each place — from capital megacities to small towns.

What I record are the states and moods of nocturnal space.

I also work in 3D — stylised characters, digital clothing, product and jewellery visualisation. For me it is painting continued by other means.

About me

In 2019 I entered the painting department of the Surikov Moscow State Academic Art Institute and graduated in 2025 with a diploma series on Korea and China.

I work in tempera on paper and oil on canvas, and make a second version of each work in levkas, the icon-painting gesso technique: the ground gives a dense texture and the pigments make the colour more painterly.

Since 2025 I have also worked in 3D — stylised characters, digital clothing, product and jewellery visualisation. Light, form and rhythm stay the same; only the space changes.
