Biography

I was born in Stavropol in the North Caucasus. I got a higher education as an economist, and also have a number of professional certificates. At the same time, I have always felt an interest to be an artist. During studies at art school and various courses, I tried many different materials. Since 2012, I have consciously concentrated on watercolor painting and began to study it. I have passed dozens of educational master classes with the world's leading watercolorists, studied features of various techniques. Since 2017, I have chosen my own plot direction - a mountain landscape, a portrait of a mountain. I am fond of mountain tourism and mountaineering, downhill skiing, deeply and professionally immersed in this sport. As my artistic skills developed, it became logical to focus on the subject that catches me. I try to convey the state of the atmosphere, weather aura, lighting and thereby express the character of a particular mountain, peak. For me, every mountain is like a person, an individual. That's why my genre is a portrait, a portrait of a mountain.

My paintings are in the collection of people who are not indifferent to the mountains, including famous professional climbers. And the best compliment for me is the burning eyes of the viewer, his words "I remember, everything was like that", that color, that light, that pattern of rocks and the texture of the stone there. When he recognises not only the mountain, but also his emotions. It energizes me tremendously and gives me joy.
