I was born and raised in Kazakhstan. My family moved to Russia in 2010. I studied psychology at university, but this path was never pursued. During my work on a local lifestyle project, I returned to art practice. Initially, I started freelancing as an illustrator and graphic designer, eventually transitioning into becoming an artist. Since then, I have been working with printing techniques, painting, film photography, and collage. All these mediums are united by the idea of unpredictable, uncontrolled results. Linoprints, riso, and stencil art always surprise me a little, and film sometimes proves stubborn, with even developed photos shocking me. These mediums lead me toward truth. These techniques have become my mentor and co-author.

Now, I live in The Hague and work from home. After moving around a lot, I am glad to have a place to call home. Through my art, I research the meaning of home for myself. Flowers and birds are universal; as Rosa Luxemburg says, "I feel at home in the entire world, wherever there are clouds and birds and human tears." Flowers and birds give me this feeling of home. However, I still love to travel, so I submit my work to open calls for galleries that I love. I have experience in the UK, Portugal, UAE, and Russia.

I hope my art will evoke this feeling in people.
