Since my early childhood, I never took my pencil out of my hands. Whenever I felt bad, I found in it a salvation from overwhelming thoughts and stress. And whenever I felt happy, I always tried to capture it on the paper. Over time my love for art grew into something more and now it is an integral part of me, I breathe it and can't imagine my life without it.
There is no genre, technique or creative vision that I am not the
slightest bit interested in - I have always tried to stay hungry for new ideas and knowledge, for this is the only way I see the true path of creative and personal development. For that reason, I had time to get acquainted with many materials - charcoal, sepia, watercolor, colored pencils, gouache, acrylic, oil paints and of course, graphite pencils. But it was the last two that took a special place in my heart. Therefore, I am glad to present you my works in which I put all my soul, using exactly these materials.
