A Note from the Artist:
Born under the watchful skies of Moscow and now thriving in the vibrant heart of New York City, my life has been a canvas stretched across two worlds, painted with the hues of resilience, creativity, and an unyielding passion for the arts. As a young dreamer in the Soviet Union, I found solace and expression through the whispered tales of color and form. This whispered love affair with art led me to the United States at the tender age of 20, where I immersed myself in the transformative world of the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. It was here, among the bustling streets and historic whispers of Philly, that my artistic voice began to sing, louder and more confidently than ever before.
Transitioning from the structured landscapes of graphic and interior design to the boundless realms of ceramic sculpture, I found my true calling in the tactile joy of clay. Inspired by the vibrant tapestry of life around me, I began crafting a collection that reflects the peculiar beauty of human idiosyncrasy. My sculptures, an eclectic assembly of whimsical characters, are born from a place of deep introspection and a desire to capture the fleeting moments that make us innately human. They are a testament to my journey—a fusion of my Soviet roots and the artistic liberation I discovered in America. Each piece is a dialogue, an invitation to explore the nuanced stories that lie beneath the surface, told with a playful twist and a nod to the absurd. In this space, where art meets biography, I welcome you to experience the world through my eyes: colorful, quirky, and ever-evolving.
