FINE ART.

Paintings oil on canvas

Creative expression has always been a big part of my life. I hold a master's degree in painting and drawing from the Fine Art University in Orenburg, Russia. I've dedicated years of study and practice to understanding art history and classical painting styles and also infused them in my work.

My paintings have been exhibited in fine art galleries all over the US. In the last few years, I've also experimented with and created art using digital mediums.
