I am a Russian-born and Paris based artist inspired by the beauty of the world. I really want my paintings to give you positive feelings, joy and happiness. 

What does define me? The very first thing I am thinking about is being a real globe trotter! I had a chance to live in several countries and to discover different cultures and ways of life. I was born in Tver, about 180 km northwest of Moscow. I studied in Russia, Finland and France and I also worked a bit in the United States. I have finally settled in France and I currently live and work in Paris.

I discovered my passion for painting very early. When I was a child, I couldn’t imagine just one day without it! During my studies at the art school I discovered the impressionists and I was really amazed by the way they depict the light and its changing nature. I think it influenced a lot my own way of painting. I enjoy exploring different possibilities and I don’t want to limit myself to a particular direction. When I paint, it is like a meditation. I forget everything and it makes me feel so happy and alive.

I find my inspiration almost everywhere either in my everyday life or during my trips: bright sky above our heads, beautiful flowers, sunny meadows, mountains, blue sea… I just enjoy exploring the beauty around us!

Thank you for stopping by and I look forward to sharing my work with you!
