Presentation

My childhood in Russia was defined by neutral color fantasies, fairy tale dreams, winter wonderlands, and a hindering idea that I needed to predetermine my future at the tender age of 6. As a child, I was surrounded by greatness. I grew up in the studios of two artists M.BIryukov (1926-1995), my stepfather and Godfather, and N.Gladkih (1927-1995), my uncle. Spending summers by the sea watching my uncle painting with all shades of blue and green or being in the studio alongside my stepfather shaped me to a great extent. However, we differ significantly as they magnify the beauty of the natural world, and I often paint unmanifested reality.

For years I wondered who I was as an artist and if I had the right to call myself by that name. Even now, I feel vulnerable when I stand in front of my audience in this capacity. I met my creative destiny while surrounded by the vibrant ineffable colors of India.

In 2008 I trekked the Himalayan mountains, where I stood above the clouds in complete awe of the place and the creation. A shock wave went through my body. I am one step closer to realizing who I am and what I am doing here on Earth.

During my travels, I discovered the navigation map of the Creative Spirit, Vedic Art. It's like the compass we have in our minds to find the way to the chamber of peace in our hearts. Then, you can glimpse into eternity when you dip your brush in light, space, and bliss.

After becoming a certified Vedic Art Instructor, I started writing down my exercise and experience and published a book “Art Completes. Exercises To Develop Your Individual Vision, Self-Expression & Artistic Skill."
I now live in the fascinating city of New York, and, having traveled to 30 countries, I feel Oneness everywhere. The more I travel, the more it becomes interesting to paint and explore the world with my brush.
