Artist
Architect (Nizhny Novgorod State University of Architecture and Construction)
Student at the Joseph Bakstein Institute of Contemporary Art (2022-2024).

A manic fascination with dogs has haunted me since childhood. This love provokes me to work through this symbol. For many years I could not get a dog and as compensation I started to create work with them.
I mainly work with themes of pain and trauma. And living traumatic experiences accordingly. The way dogs are portrayed in our culture, the qualities they are given, is very appealing to me and meets my needs.
My work is both autobiographical and tells the stories of all people as a whole.

I work with a variety of materials and forms. From canvases, to plaster bas-reliefs, silkscreen, batik and street art.
