Originally from Moscow, Russia I live in Shreveport, Louisiana. I was born in 1963 and has been painting professionally since 1989.

I am a graduate of Moscow High Art and Industrial Institute (former Stroganovskoe) where I was a restorer of decorative art (Russian icons and frescos). For a number of years I worked as a restorer for the Russian State museums. My specialty was XVII century icons.

Technique and style of the icons impressed me and influenced my figurative paintings and landscapes.

I have started my exhibition activity in 1989 in Moscow. Among most prestigious show I participated were annual exhibitions of The Russian Art Union and annual “Gold Brush” exhibition in Moscow.

Since 1996 I live in the U.S. My paintings were presented at the art shows in Kent, CT, Brooklyn, NY, and at the two latest personal - in Shreveport.
