I was born in 1981 in Kharkov, Ukraine. In 1999 I got admitted into the Kharkov Art School and have held numerous exhibitions from Kiev to New York City. In 2001, I participated in the Charity Auction led by Michael Gorbachev to benefit the victims of 9/11.
The years spent in the Art School have provided me with the knowledge and experience in the field of art. I had been studying in the school since the age of 12 until 16. The courses required high self-discipline, organization and meticulous attention to detail. My consistently high performance in the school reflected my aptitude for the art.
Since January 2004 until May 2006 I had been an art student in Darton college (GA). This two year school gave me a lot of knowledge in Photography, Design and Drawing. I was also pursuing the second major in Foreign Languages (Spanish).
Now since September 2006 I have been a student of Savannah College of Art and Design at the Atlanta campus.
Beside my academic work I actively participate in the social life of our College. I am a vice president of 2 honor societies: Alpha Mu Gamma (Foreign Language) and Sigma Delta Mu (Spanish Honors). I am also an active member of Cultural Exchange Club, Phi Theta Kappa (Honor Society), and Art Students League. I have also been in a constant collaboration with local museums, voluntarily teaching art to children, participating in exhibitions, etc.
I held my personal exhibition in Albany Art Museum, GA. I also had special artist experience participating in several exhibitions in Ukraine, Russia (Moscow, St. Petersburg), France (Paris), and Spain (Barcelona) as well as in USA, particularly in New York, Philadelphia, New Jersey (Jersey City and Manchester), Georgia and Florida. I have some drawing works (coal, gouache), canvases and tapestries.
In 2000-2003 I received the scholarship of the “Fond of Rising Talented Youth”, leading by the Governor of Kharkov region. In 2002 I won the First Prize among the young artists "From 20 to 40". The contest was held with the help of the Government of Moscow. In 2003 one of my pictures was bought by very famous American collector (his collection consists of about 12,000 pictures of Non-Conformist Artists) and director of Zimmerly Museum in Washington. In 2004 I received the prize in Spring Into Art Exhibition in Valdosta, GA. During the last 5 years I have been constantly participating in numerous exhibitions with such famous Russian artists as Ilya Kabakov, Erik Bulatov, Komar and Melamid, Oleg Scelkov and many others. Several months ago my works participated in the exhibition among the works of widely well-known avangard artists such as Malevich, Tatlin, Popova and others. This exhibition was shown in Moscow (Russia), and in Barcelona (Spain).
