I was born in Russia in the Far East on the coast of the Sea of Japan. I started drawing from early childhood. I attended a children's art school. After serving in the navy, I enrolled in the Vladivostok Art College. After graduating, I worked as a freelance artist. I painted commissioned portraits and sold my paintings in galleries. I participated in exhibitions in Vladivostok and Saint Petersburg. My works are held in private collections in Central European countries, the USA, Canada, China, Japan, Korea, and others.
