I was born in Moscow in 1973 to the old artistic dinasty spaning 4 generations so I knew that I will become a fine artist as long as I can remember myself. My Mum and Dad were well known award winning jewelry designers and my Garndma was a prominent artist of the Social Realism era. As for my Great Great Grandfather one of his works has been bought by Russian Museum of St. Peterburgh back in pre-revolutionary Russia.

In 1997 I graduated from Stroganov University of Applied Arts, one of the oldest and most prestigious art schools in Russia. From 1994 I participated in various local and national exhibitions.

In 1999, after marrige, I moved to the UK. Over the period of 1999 - 2002 I had a number of exhibitions in London. Among the venues were Ficino Gallery in Harrow-on-the-Hill, Rowley Gallery in Kensington, East West Gallery in Notting Hill and personal exhibition in Avantgarde Gallery in St.John's Wood. My portraiture clients include familly of Vice President of Conde Nast International, Vogue's editor Bernd Runge.

Cats have always fascinated me. As free and graceful and aetheticaly pleasing as the art itself they are to me the perfect subjects for painting. Cats eyes are full of immense beauty and mystery. Im my artistic career I have painted hundreds of cats and still I am never tired of them. The best of these efforts are made into prints are offered here for sale.
