I was born in 1987, 12 June in Yekaterinburg, Russia. I'm artist and cultural anthropologist. I was always attracted to the diversity of cultures.

 

At age 14 I was fascinated by the culture of the East and begun to learn Japanese. I was also interested in trying to learn and a variety of European languages. Basics of Italian, Czech, German and, of course, French. At the university I continued to learn English and Japanese, as well as Latin.

 

In 2007 I first had the opportunity to communicate with foreigners. It was a philosophical meeting with students of the americans. With these friendly people I have free communication in the English language.

Since then I have talked with hundreds of people from different countries. With people of different professions and ages, it was free artists and musicians, teachers and students, volunteers and businessmen.

 

My dream - a more detailed study of Japanese culture - I was able to realize in the first year of university. Then I spent two coursework studies. One of them was related to the ethical and aesthetic aspects of Japanese cuisine. I've always been interested in the relationship of the material culture, with its invisible spiritual side. And my search continued in the field of popular culture and its relationship to traditional culture. Also I took part in Japanese tea ceremony and made some works about it.

 

Meeting with Asia for me continued immersion in Buddhist culture. I took part in a unique eskpeditsii to Lake Baikal and Mongolia. I spoke with Buddhist monks and teachers, making sketches and collected interviews. Traditional painting and sculpture in the region struck my imagination and philosophy has left a deep mark on my personality. At the end of the expedition held a conference on the results of the exhibition and with my participation in the Ural State University (2009).

In 2011 and 2012 I took part in the organization of the festival Days of Tibetan Culture in Yekaterinburg. The organization of the festival allowed me to once again touch the culture of Tibet and learn a lot about medicine, language, rituals, philosophy and art of the region. During all this time I was able to communicate with a very old and respected teachers, as well as prominent experts. For example, twice I saw a sand mandala creation and its complete destruction.

From 2009 to 2011 I attended meetings, lectures and discussions, film club in the cultural center of the Confucius Institute. It was an interesting introduction to the Chinese culture. Through this dialogue, I gained material for my diploma. The theme of the thesis was the study of the cultural and anthropological features of the Chinese. I translate from English and French and consult with teachers and students from China.

After graduation, I started working at the Fashion Institute of the Ural Academy of Architecture and Arts. My work was related to advertising art education. I also attended lectures and workshops on painting, drawing and composition. At this time I decided to get professional artistic skills.

In 2011 I was going to get academic art education. My choice fell on the Ural school of art, is a leader in the region and one of the best in Russia. I entered the theater and decorative art. This specialty allows me to work with the development of the characters and costumes, sketches and layout of the scene. Also, I was able to receive a full course of drawing rights and oil painting.
The program was rich and diverse. In particular, I was able to participate in the open air, practices and exhibitions. Already after the first course was organized my first exhibition (2012). About me and the newspapers in the region. it was exhibitoin of numerous watercolors in small and medium format.

Since 2012 I also began to teach regularly in children's art studio USAAA. I was invited to workshops in the city holidays. Since then I have gained great experience working with children. I realized that I could communicate with children much better than many others.
Since 2013, I am classes adults in watercolor.

In 2014 where are my next exhibition of oils and watercolors. See video on YouTube

Also I graduated Art school in 2015.

 

In 2015, it opened my author's course of watercolor painting and graphics in USAAA.
Regularly held my exhibition, I was invited to the TV. Link on video 

I like to combine the study of culture and the creation of art. Art as a practice and cultural anthropology as a contemplation - all organically intertwined in my perception.
Cultural exchange, spiritual quest and creation of works of art - here are my priorities in development. In art, I aspire to create a series, always experimenting, I do not like frozen styles, and can not stay the same.

 

I have again and again come up with and develop ideas for education and development. One of the challenges for me is intergation of my cultural and spiritual experience in me and my works. I like to share my observations, I am always happy for creative exchange.
