About

{"ops":[{"insert":"I was born and raised in the Soviet Union, in a cultural environment where literature, imagery, and meaning held particular importance. This early influence shaped my artistic approach—seeing painting not just as representation, but as a way to interpret and transform reality.\nMy academic background is in the humanities and research, focused on language, culture, and textual analysis. This perspective directly informs my painting. I approach each work not only as a visual object, but as a structured composition of meaning, with attention to rhythm, contrast, balance, and internal coherence.\nAlongside my academic and professional career, I have always continued to paint. Over time, painting evolved from a personal interest into an independent form of expression. I primarily work with oil, favoring strong color, expressive texture, and simplified yet powerful forms. While my work reflects influences of Fauvism and Expressionism, I am less concerned with style itself than with emotional precision.\nCurrently, I live and work in Zurich, Switzerland, where I continue to develop my artistic practice.\nMy works are intended not only to be viewed, but to be lived with. They bring atmosphere, tension, or calm into an interior, depending on the viewer’s perception.\nEach work is original and created with attention to detail, material quality, and long-term presence in a space.\n"}]}
