In my family, there was no foreshadowing of the appearance of the artist, but there were dynasties of physiologists, chemists, biochemists, engineers, and doctors. My grandfather, a well-known physiologist, collected paintings, antiques, albums, and books on the history of art, and most likely the environment of numerous works of art allowed me to easily start painting. Later I studied at the Kyiv Academy of Arts and Crafts named after Mikhail Boychuk, and also graduated from the Graphic faculty of NTUU "KPI". In my work, I tried to realize all education, formal and informal knowledge. Originally it was advertising and showcases, later illustrations of children's and adult books, and then the concept of restaurants, magazines, and illustrations for them, the concept of corporate styles. I also participated in the development of the concept and its implementation in the television show "Stars in Opera" on the 1 + 1 channel. And, finally, moved to independent work, the beginning of which was laid by graphic series. Next are personal exhibitions, ceramic sculptures, and graphics on dishes, textiles, and silk.
