I was born in Tajikistan, but raised in Sevastopol, Ukraine where I got the first knowledge of art and culture while studying in Sevastopol School of Fine Art. In 1996 I graduated from the Odessa College of Arts. At the moment I live and work in Moscow, where in 2002 I got a degree from the Moscow State University of Printing Arts. Experienced in various fields of graphic arts I worked as an art teacher, an illustrator, a graphic designer and as an art director in a popular magazine as well as doing personal art projects using photography, collage, linocut and digital media.
