Born in Minsk (Belarus) in March 1971

"If you know your picture, you don't need to paint it."          Salvador Dali

My painting is a unique combination of classical and modern techniques that allows you to create works full of depth and emotional charge. I work carefully with each painting, using layers of transparent, translucent and saturated colours to convey the richness of textures and shades. My approach is based on a careful observation of nature and human emotions, which gives my paintings liveliness and authenticity.

 

Each of my works is the result of a laboured creative process that combines intuition and professionalism as an artist. The paintings have a special atmosphere that can immerse the viewer in a thoughtful world and evoke an inner reaction and inspiration. The uniqueness of my works lies in the harmony of colour solutions and expressive composition, which make each painting an independent artistic expression.

 

All my art projects - abstract, landscape and pictorial - including individual projects such as Swiss mountains in pastose oil technology, landscapes in encaustic (wax) and pastel portraits, are the fruits of my professionalism and many years of experience. I work exclusively with materials of the highest quality and am constantly creative in search of new techniques and materials. I try to be extremely honest with the viewer.

 

My paintings are valuable not only for their visual influence, but also for their ability to convey deep philosophical and emotional meanings. They become a bridge between me and the viewer and invite dialogue and contemplation. Thanks to the combination of technical skill and creative sincerity, my works resonate in the hearts of art connoisseurs, art lovers and remain relevant in various cultural contexts

 

I put my energy, mood, worldview and philosophy into each work and created original paintings that not only adorn the interior and evoke emotions, but also represent a worthy investment in the world of art

I present my art projects at established international art fairs in Switzerland and abroad. Since 2012, as an artist and member of the Swiss Artists' Association, I have organized up to two solo exhibitions per year in Zurich. In addition, I participate 4-6 times a year in established international art exhibitions/fairs in Switzerland, the UK, Germany, France, Luxembourg, Austria, and other countries. Since 2012 I participated in more than 60 international exhibitions, art fairs and art salons.

My abstract artworks, landscape paintings, figurative paintings, art collages and encaustic artworks are found in various private collections in Switzerland and around the world by private collectors, art buyers, hotels, restaurants and medical centres
