My whole life is devoted to art. When I got my own studio, was able to immerse myself in creativity completely
I am interested in all areas of art. Fully immersing myself in the creative process, I can express any of my emotions, build a dialogue with the viewer based on my observations.
It is often quite difficult to reveal a theme with one picture, therefore, I mainly work in series. This gives me the opportunity to express as deep as possible all of my creative explorations.
Now I am interested in topics:
Who we are?
Where are we from. how life appeared on Earth, the influence of Cosmos and Religions on human consciousness.

Education:

Belarusian Academy of Arts, the department of monumental painting (2000).
