About me

After graduating from high-school, I went to study horse-breeding in Moscow. During the time there, I also had an excellent opportunity to master things that are useful for painting, such as equine anatomy, behaviour, various characters, horse breeds and their visual diversity. I gladly paint commission works. Usually, I first meet the model and photograph them.

It is a greater challenge to paint using the animal owner’s photographs when you don’t have the chance to meet the model. Then, you must perceive the most important characteristics of the animal just from the photographs. It is a sort of meditation – you grasp what matters most in the animal. I like to be near nature, which is why I chose to live outside the city. My studio is there, too, and it is open to visitors.
