Bio_text

I was born and raised in Saint Petersburg, Russia. With a background in architecture and interior design, I spent much of my twenties travelling and working internationally before settling in Sydney, Australia.

Art remained a constant throughout these years, eventually becoming the centre of my practice. Working exclusively with coloured pencils, I have developed a distinctive visual language that brings multiple views together within a single image.

 

My work has been exhibited across Australia, the USA, Asia and Europe, including AQUA Art Miami. I was a finalist in the 2025 Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize Emerging Artist Award and the 2025 Lloyd Rees Emerging Artist Award.

I now live and work in Sydney, returning regularly to Saint Petersburg, where much of my family remains.

Borrowing the visual language of cinema, I bring together shots that would ordinarily be experienced one after another, allowing them to unfold simultaneously within a single image. I’m interested in how one view can never quite contain the whole story, so I create a fuller experience of the same moment.

The figures in my work often begin as anonymous models found in fashion imagery. Removed from their original context, they shed the cool detachment of the fashion photograph and are invited into a different world. Here, the model becomes a protagonist: placed within landscapes and imagined scenarios, their polished exterior recedes into the background as something more intimate and human comes to the surface.

The geometric grid allows both images to remain distinct while becoming one. I think of them as two melodies that sing in harmony, while each individual square becomes a small abstract image of its own.

I work exclusively with coloured pencils, building each image slowly through layers of colour and detail. My drawings are made on paper mounted to wooden panels and finished by hand with vintage leather, making the frame part of the artwork itself.
